Results of the 1st Annual Bluestone River Wild 5k

Hello Everyone!
We had a great race today. We want to especially thank the ladies from State Farm who were so gracious to sponsor this event! They did everything we needed done and more. We really appreciate their help.
We also want to thank Bluestone State Park for allowing us to complete the race in the first place. They have invited us to contact them again next year for another run.
Everything went pretty well. The course has been tagged as tough, there is that hill, but a very satisfying run in the end. We will be back next year, maybe a little earlier in the year though.
Thank you finally to everyone who participated. We hope that you will look for us on the running events websites and fit us into your schedule.

Ok, on with the results.

Here we go!

I hope you are all looking forward to a run in the 70s. It is supposed to be cooler this week than it has been the last few days. That should keep us in good shape for Saturday.
