Adam Ricci Park 5 Miler

 

Thirteen runners showed up on a cool, clear, and sunny August morning for what was to be a somewhat rugged morning run. In addition to the loop along Creekside Drive which climbs up to the Blue Shield building after two miles, there was an added 1.1 miles on old Center Street. The .1 mile represented a long, snaking hill which rose gradually to the east side of Adams-Ricci park. From there the runners circled the park to the start and then completed a 1.3 mile circuit culminating with a vertical run up Magaro Road to finish. The first runner to clock in was Tom Snedden at 34:58 followed by Gary Grobman at 36:05 and Frank Leiter at 36:29. The first (and only) female runner was Amy Witmer finishing at 48:32. My thanks to Charley Laverty for assisting with the timing.
