5K Nut Race at Reactor Parking lot 2-5-05

Temp. 45, no wind, sunny

This is the best weather for the Nut Race that I can recall. Thirty-five very lucky runners started the race and all finished. Julie Lossos won the overall female division in 19:49 and Christian Reed won the men’s overall in 15:44. The top three in 7 age groups (14 & under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, etc.) won leguminous edibles as did the two overall winners. A couple of the age group races were hotly contested. In women 50-59, Janet Grant and Andrea Allen in the 50-59 ended up with 25 seconds between them while the 30-39 age men saw Aaron Aaker and Brian Evans were just 25 seconds apart, too, and John Weghorst and Marc Keys had just 17 seconds separating them in the 40-49 men. We had fine races by four kids 11 or under. Kellen Loch who just joined the club, was 15^th overall in 21:39, Kyle Tonnies was 25^th overall in 28:34, Alejandro Chavez was 32^nd in 31:56, and Julia Chavez, age 9, was the 10^th female finisher in a time of 34:07. Josh Mantooth, 16, ran 17:15 for 4^th overall. Congratulations to these young fit athletes. A very special thanks to the following CTC members who helped conduct the race: Tom Allen, Don Johnson (all the way from Centralia), Anne Hessler, Dan and Mary Hooley, Linda Lafontaine, Michele McFadden, and Steve Stonecipher-Fisher.
