No Frills All Thrills Race Info
2009 Wrap Up
It was kind of disappointing to have firm,
snow- and ice-free trails, and no wind - something we're not
accustomed to at this race. But at least temperatures were cool and
it made for some blazing fast times! BARS Member Dave Homann took
overall male honors with a 28:43 finish. The race record is 26:00
set in our inaugural year (2000) by Dathan Ritzenheim on the old
course starting at the south end of the park. Peter Bruno of Okemos
took the Male Master win with a 31:40 time.
Mom & daughter Wanda and Jennifer
Gunderson took the Female Master and Open, respectively. Wanda's no
stranger to this race having won Female Master 4 times (2000-2002,
2007) and overall female also in 2002. Wanda's time was 37:37 and
Jennifer's was 33:18 - great job ladies! Our four top finishers were
awarded a great Mizuno gear bag embroidered with the the race name
and year of their victory.
Our gratitude to the Huron Clinton Metropark
Authority for helping us put on this race, especially to Jerry Cyr
for helping us with the permit requirements and to Head
Groundskeeper Adam Haberkorn and his crew at Huron Meadows. They
were out all week checking the trails and moving tables for our
runners. If you haven't experienced this park yet, come out and run
the trails sometime. And don't forget to bring your golf clubs for a
different kind of cool down.
Course
A 5 mile route through woods and fields and is moderately hilly. Most parts of the trail are wide enough to make passing comfortable if you're feeling feisty. One water stop which runners will pass twice, at about 2 miles and again at around 4 miles. More fluids will be available at the start/finish area.
Awards
Everal Race Management is our timer and we're committed to getting results quickly. In fact, the Everals upload the results to RunMichigan.com before they even leave the park! How's that for fast?
