Weedsport Historical 8k Run June 3, 2006

One of the most fun runs the Gophers do is the Weedsport Historical 8k. This is a combination road race/ trail run which includes a drumlin. A drumlin according to Dictionary.com is "An elongated hill or ridge of glacial drift."

This year the weather was 54 degrees and raining which made the race even more fun. The drumlin was extremely slippery with many people slipping and falling. Many of the races decided that running through the mud puddles on the tow path was much more fun then avoiding them. Some runners even choose to hit the mud puddles along the edge of the road.

After last weeks races of setting 5 PR's the gophers decided to take it easy this week, and only set two new PR's.

Stephen Codner went on to place 3rd in the 40-49 age class, followed by Steve Gallow taking 4th, and Ray Wagner taking 5th. Gallow and Wagner feel they should include prices for the top 5 finishers of each age group.

Results:

24th Steve Codner 37:36

25th Steve Gallow 37:55

27th Ray Wagner 39:06
