Run for the Raiders

The first ever Run for the Raiders was held on August 29, 2009 with a good crowd of runners participating. After listening to instructions from race director Tommy Blair, we were off and running on the course with the most turns that I have ever experienced. I counted 30 turns, but Mark Lipking thought there were 26 turns, 2 bends and 2 curves. With at least three of those being 180 degree turns, no matter how one counts it, that was a lot of turns. Luckily we didn't have many hills to go along with the turns. Arash Taheri had no trouble with the course coming in  first with a 16.36--a full two minutes ahead of the second place finisher. Bridgett Jolly from Brookhaven continues her fast ways. Ever since she decided to go with the short hair, she has gotten faster and faster.  She set a new PR and was the first female finisher with a 21.47. Ray Henderson and Phillip Wedgeworth represented the Pine Belt Pacers at this race by coming in first in their age groups. After the race we had plenty of fruit, cookies, cake, and water. Many people won nice door prizes, but Ray and Phillip kept up their record without winning a door prize. I apologize for the quality of pictures, but for some reason I could not get the lighting right in this gym. © Phillip Wedgeworth
