The Nut Race

5K Reactor Loop, Columbia, MO Feb. 1, 2003

     The temperature was around 30 F, no wind, sunny, hardly the stuff of legends. Tom Allen, who so kindly helped with timing, recalled a past Nut Race where the timing devices froze solid. Not this one as twenty-five runners lined up for the 9:00 a.m. start. Marc Keys was the male winner in 17:11, and Michele McFadden won the women's division in 19:16. Nota bene! Both winners are in their 40's, and Richard Boggs came in a winner in 33:12 at age 75. Special thanks are due Tom Allen, Anne Hessler, Debbie Karwoski, and Tony Taube for helping.
