2003 Run The Park 5K
November 8, 2003
Versailles State Park
    What a great success!  Congratulations to all participants of the 1st annual Run the Park 5K.  We intend to make this an annual event, so mark your calendars for November 13, 2004 (tentative date).  The weather was a little chilly, but after the race everyone seemed to warm-up by the fire hoping to win one of the many door prizes.
     We had a total of 118 registrations (57 pre-registered) with 110 runners and walkers crossing the finishing line.  There were 78 runners (64 male and 14 female), and 32 walkers (14 male and 17 female).  The youngest male runner was 10 and the oldest was 62.  The youngest female runner was 18 and the oldest was 59.  The youngest male walker was 10 and the oldest was 66.  The youngest female walker was 35 and the oldest was 60.
      Our overall male winner was Cecil Franke with an amazing time of 15:06.  The next 6 runners were packed together within 11 seconds (16:04 to 16:15).  The overall female winner was Jessica Vanvleet with an outstanding time of 21:19.  The overall male walker was Steve Black with a time of 31:12.  The overall female walker was Alecia Fryman with a time of 38:21.
      We want to thank our many sponsors for their generosity and support for the race.  It couldn't have been done without them.   We would like to hear any comments and/or suggestions you may have.  You can email us at [email protected] or [email protected].  We hope to see all of you back in 2004, and please tell your friends what a great race this was.

Thanks again,

Run the Park
