Congratulations to the Gulf Coast Running Club and The YMCA for putting on a great two mile race today. Manly the Clark Street running guys and Leonard Vergunst.
The race was attended by over two hundred runners. The course was a down hill point to point race. We started at the Y and finished up down on the beach . Another good feature of the race was the fact the course was mostly shaded. There was one mishap. It seemed that one of our top over fifty runners fell about a third of a mile before the finish but seemed OK after the race. After questioning him afterwards he said he had done a 13 miler Sun. and had not sufficiently hydrated prior to the race. The after race party consisted of awards for the most patriotic costumes. and a 1/4 mi. kids run. Goodies were water, Gatorade, watermelon, nanners, and cookies. the trophies also had a patriotic flair. Check the results on the gulfcoast running club web site. © BC
