Miles for Melissa 5 K run in Washington Lake Park/Turnersville, New Jersey USA (10/22/2005) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It was Saturday morning and it rained all the way down to Turnersville. Around 10 km before I arrived it stopped raining. It stays cloudy and cool, but dry. The first runners were already there. As it shows up it was a very small event. Around 50 runners were starting. Against the 5 K running there were also 5 K and 1 Mile walking. The proceeds of this race will be sponsored to the Melissa Foundation. It was a flat course at the footpaths of the park. The problem was the turns. There were many hard turns and turn around. Already before the start there were snacks and drinks for the runner. Hot chocolade and coffee where very favoured at this temperatures. What should be said about the progress of the race? At such a short race the results are written quickly. The only thing, which has to be mentioned is the results. The first tree overall winners, where not rated at the age groups. They get some price money and the three first of each age group get an gift coupon.
