52nd Sue-meg Park Run

10:00 am, Sat., Apr. 20, 2024

Directed by “Jack West” <jandjwest@yahoo.com>

 

        The second Sue-meg Run of the year turned out to be on a great day. On Saturday, April 20, 80 runners ran one of the two races on a very nice, sunny morning. In the 5K, 8th grader, Juan Ornelas, came all the way from Fortuna to beat Brent Ritschel by seven seconds. Alicia Mengel barely held off Jen Foesig, giving us two great 5K races. West Wood and Andrea Wright were easy winners in the 10K, each winning by over two minutes. There were 38 finishers in the 5K and 42 in the 10K.

        Because of the twists and turns in the park, it takes a lot of volunteers. Mark Ellis and Harry Kavich ran the clocks for each race and saved me a lot of time by assisting with clean-up. My wife, Jan West, worked with 8th grader, Sebastian Amaro, pulling tags for the 5K and part of the 10K. Kelley Sheehy helped with the tags for the 10K, but she also organized the food table, and she brought some delicious home-made cookies. Thomas Bernota, Don Brubaker, Bob Peck, Jib Ray and Silvia Manzo helped direct runners and keep them safe. Alan Grau, Dawn Durbin and Tanya Trump worked with Jan to register everyone. Holly Sage and Jen Foesig also were there to assist with the races. Thank you to all the terrific volunteers who completed their volunteer requirement for the Circuit. If you would like to help, please contact the race director of any our races.

        I appreciate all the support from the people who helped and all the kind words from the runners. There are a lot more races this season, so please keep enjoying the SRRC races.
