Race Results from Feb. 19 & 20

Jesse Warren ran the Myrtle Beach Marathon around the 4 hour mark. Said he had too good of a time on Friday night. Good for you Jesse!

We had a ton of familiar faces at the Frostbite 5k & 10k. First, congrats to the Edneyville Elementary Jogging Group! There were a ton of kids running in both the 5k & the 10k. Great job to all!

In the women's race, Rebecca Mayernick was 3rd overall female in the 10k. Awesome job! Kate Seng finished the 10k in around 55 minutes, but her chip didn't register her at the finish. Lynn Ray cracked one hour in the 10k and set a new PR! She ran 59:15. Melissa McCulloch was 3rd in her age group and, as always, all smiles at the finish & awards ceremony.

in the men's race, Aaron Saft won the 10k in 33:06. Curtis Rowe was 4th overall in the 5k in a new PR of 17:45. David Workman took fourth overall in the 10k running 36:55. Shawn Bagley ran 40:28 in the 10k. Don McMahill ran the 5k, & informed me his goal was to beat the 1st 10k runner. He told me I didn't count, so he achieved his goal. He ran 35:26 & took 3rd in his age group. Mr. Dennis Duffy ran the 10k & had his fastest time in over a year running 51:12. Albert Noah set a new 10k PR of 58:06 as did Jason Luttrull running 1:07:52. Congrats to all!

Great to see every one out! Keep up the hard work! Sorry if I forgot any one!

See every one at the Blackjack 5k this weekend (Sat. Feb. 26th) at Fletcher Park. 8am register ($5). Race at 8:30am.
