03.13.10: Baneberry 5k Chili Run

This was truly an amazing race. There were 52 finishers, which is not bad for a first-time race, but then when one considers that it was thrown together in 1½ months, there wasn't time to properly advertise it (it made the SFTC schedule but not the KTC's - its only mention was an M.B. post J. Smyth made week-of), & the fact that rain was forecast (the actual weather conditions were far better - a bit windy at times but sunny for the most part), that number gets very impressive indeed. The chili competition afterwards gave runners and others a chance to sample some great postrace food and a great time seemed to be had by all. My compliments to Doug Swiggum & John Smyth for a job well done and very quickly. Looking forward to seeing how big this race gets with more time to advertise it.

Brent Bueche was the overall winner in 19:39 and Marsha Morton won the women's race in 20:48. A complete listing of the finishing order can be found at: http://www.ktc.org/MsgB4/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7348
