It was a beautiful fall day as 86 runners competed in the 21st Annual Knights of Columbus Adventure 5K on Sunday. This race benefits the Schlow Centre Region Library Children's Department.
The Knights race is the Nittany Valley Running Club's official Beginners Race. This year seven runners completed their first 5K race. This year's beginners were Sally Neely, Brad Westhafer, Kate Woodford, Kimberly Musial, Grace Peiffe, Sara Lucid, and Thomas Sowers. All beginners received a ribbon of recognition to help commemorate their first 5K. Congratulations on your accomplishment!
One of the area's regular runners and last year's third place finisher, Patrick Singletary, 46, took first place in 17:52; followed by last year's first place finisher, Alan Effrig, 32, in 18:10; and third place finisher, Joe Schuchert, 33, in 19:49. In the women's race, Catherine Curtin, 12 , took first place in 21:38; followed by second place finisher, Megan Schuchert, 33, in 22:04; and third place finisher, Julia Neely, 11, in 24:17.
A large number of families, including the Schucherts, Neelys, Maras, Fedkins, Maguires, Shireys, Smiths, Welshs, and Van Velsors participated in either the 5K and/or the Kids' races.
Race director Christine Rodgers wants to thank all the volunteers for helping make race day a success. The race raised $1600 for its beneficiary, the Schlow Centre Region Library's Children's Department. Past race director Marty Mazur, provided invaluable assistance with many pre-race and race day preparations. Additionally, a huge thank you to Kim Barger who helped with many of the pre- and race day tasks. As usual, Dave Eggler did an excellent job in tracking the runners' times and compiling the results. Dave Agler provided high-quality finish line support. Thanks to Fran Zola for efficiently handling the difficult task of managing last minute, race day registrations and to Adam Bugaj who, on his bike, guided the runners through the course. Finally, many thanks to course marshals Cassandra Rosas, Mary Beth Hoffman, Meira Minard, Fran Zola, and the many spectators who at last minute agreed to help out directing runners along the course.
Finally, a big Thank You goes out to the race sponsors. The Knights of Columbus generously allowed the NVRC to host the race from their hall, and donated a thoughtful cash gift to help defray race expenses. Club member and long-time sponsor, Tom Cali, of Tom Cali Re/Max Centre Realty also generously donated a cash gift, as well as MedExpress. Subway provided coupons for runners to receive a free 6" sub. Wal-Mart and Wegman's provided store gift cards which were used to purchase post race food for the runners. CCDA Water donated bottled water. Other local businesses, including Rapid Transit Sports, Appalachian Outdoors, The Boal Mansion and Columbus Chapel, The Bicycle Shop, East Coast Gym, Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster and Northland Bowl also provided prizes. As in previous years, Rosewood Silkscreening did a great job with the race T-shirts.
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing everyone again at next year's race.
