35th Annual Dow’s Prairie Run – The Extra Mile

10:00 am, Sat., June 15, 2024

Directed by “Jeff Haag” <jeffrey.haag@humboldt.edu>

 

Race day began inauspiciously. Construction on Central Avenue necessitated a course change, and a locked parking lot at the staging area led to prerace congestion. But the crew of volunteers went the extra mile to ensure a safe and hospitable event was efficiently run. And the 6.1 mile runners also went an extra mile. Literally.

 

Logistical hurdles were overcome and 75 runners towed the line. Less than 12 minutes after the start Levi Browne returned, winning the 2-mile race. Zack Whitley was second, and Levi’s younger brother Clark finished third. Coming in fourth and fifth were the first two females, Cheri Culver and Jen Foesig. A total of 39 runners finished the 2-mile course, including two Gonzalezs, three Brownes, four Turners and Roybals, and five Herreras and Garcias!

 

In the 7.1 mile race runners went from the ocean, white with foam, to the mountains, to the prairie. Then, singing happily, they turned around and ran back! Galen Hammitt arrived first, in 51:42, followed closely by Caleb Turner and Andrea Wright. And two Chapmans ran in this race.

 

Complete race results and photographs can be found online at <http://www.6rrc.com>.

 

This event was made possible and pleasant by the help of several volunteers, including the aforementioned two Chapmans, (Tj and Mark transported logistical supplies), three Hartlings, (Douglas worked registration, Emily and Sage directed runners on course), and five Porters (Shawn, Westley, and Felix were at the mid-race aid station while Crystal and Arianna handled post-race refreshments). Lorraine Dillon (registration), Harry Kavich and Jack West (timing), Sherry Myers and Mark Ellis (transportation), and Yoon Kim (photographs and race results) also volunteered. We are immensely grateful for everyone’s help. And we look forward to the 36th Annual Dow’s Prairie Run! -- Jeffrey B Haag <jeffrey.haag@humboldt.edu>
