The winner in each category won a prize! Happy to announce the overall winner, Leah Ahlin with a time of 18:21.9 and Kristopher Klein, the overall male winner, 19:06.2 both win a shoe fitting and pair of shoes worth up to $125 from Fleet Feet Sports. www.fleetfeetpittsburgh.com
Kayla Keddal topped the female 29 & under division and David Wigle came in first in the 30 & over division and won a gift bag that includes tickets and other goodies courtesy of the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2nd and 3rd place finishers will receive certificates. Thanks to our sponsors for their generous support of the Run VK PGH!
