34th Annual Dow’s Prairie Run
10:00 am, Sat., June 24, 2023

It was the first Saturday of summer. Local skies were gray but smiles were
bright for 66 runners in the 34th annual Dows Prairie runs. The 2 mile (3.2 km, or 16 furlongs) race had 26 runners, led by
16 year old Levi Browne. The 6.1 mile (9.8 km,
or 0.00000000000104 light years) race featured 40 runners. Nicholas Brichta
won the race and set a new course record, 31 minutes and 33 seconds. So he averaged 11.6 miles per hour on that hilly loop. Erin
Ponte and Andrea Wright also made it into the all
time record books, averaging 8.9 and 7.5 miles per hour respectively.
Both runs were family affairs, featuring 2 Howatts, Johnsons, and Wrights,
3 Brownes, Pontes, Wehans, and Chapmans, 4 Stellys and Roybals,
and 6 Turners! Of course there is only one Mr.
Sunshine.
We are fortunate to have many dedicated volunteers in our club. On Saturday
club president Gary Timek prepared the course and timed the race.
Alongside Gary handling timing and results were Yoshi Uemura and Mark
Ellis. Runner registration was handled by Marlene Allen (who also
ran the race) and Tammy Haag. Directing runners where the courses split
was Dave Ryan. Yoon Kim took pictures and compiled results and,
as usual, had them posted immediately after the race. Special thanks this year
go to Mark and Tj Chapman for thorough and energetic trash
removal along the entire course.
Thank you to all participants and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you at future 6rrc events, including the 35th
Dow’s Prairie Run. -- Jeffrey B Haag <jeffrey.haag@humboldt.edu>
