Getting lost and arriving less than 30 seconds before the start of this year's race didn't deter Jessie Holmes. With no stretching or warm up she took off with the main pack in her first ever 10K and went on to win by 1:12 in a time of 39:16. Veteran runner Jim Miller distanced himself from the main pack early and went on to win by 2:40 in a time of 35:31. Andrew Pedersen, Bill Dysart, Todd Silk, Steve Eustis and Jessie all stayed together through the first mile. After Steve fell back, Chuck Landry approached the group after 2 miles. Gordon MacFarland surged after the 5K turn around to do a very negative split, catching and passing several of the main pack. The weather turned out to be ideal for the 86 runners - 65 degrees, mostly sunny and a light south wind.
Thanks to all volunteers - Clif Rivers, Linda Rhoads, Mary Slattery, Brian Clark, Tim Duff and Jennifer Miller for a perfectly timed race. David Fields, Anne Treadwell and Phyllis Marcel for their efforts on the registration table. Josh Flore, Ken Schatz and Alison McKain for a great job with traffic control out on the course. Kris and Tom Larson and Melanie LeMoine for keeping the runners hydrated during the race at both the 2 and 4 mile waterstops.

Also, Marisha LeMoine for helping with the refreshment table as well as the awarding of prizes.
