A mild morning for June greeted runners for the 8 a.m. start of this year’s race, which saw runners from age 9 to 87 take part in this early morning tour of the Village of Boalsburg.
Seventeen-year-old McClain Reamer took the overall win, with Travis Kagaritze and Eric Silver taking second and third. The women’s race was won by Anna Miller, with Sarah Miller and Daria Pankova placing second and third. Six master’s runners finished in the top ten.
Three runners improved on their times from last year. Daria Pankova took 5 seconds off her time from 2022, Silvia Hutchinson improved her time by more than 4 minutes, and Willa Henry reduced her time by more than 9 minutes.
The race served up its traditional pancake breakfast this year, after 3 years off, with Lance Bland and Jim Myers providing expert flapjack flipping expertise at the griddle.
Numerous drawing prizes were handed out, donated by area businesses, including many shops located near the race course in Boalsburg: A Basket Full, The Bike Roost, Boalsburg Car Company, Chocolates by Leopold, Climb Nittany, Duffy’s Tavern, Portfolio - A Salon, Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, and Your Perfect Fit. Additional prizes were provided by Rapid Transit Sports and Doan’s Bone Barbecue.
A hearty thanks to chefs Lance and Jim, as well as Marie, Larry and Eddie Garmat, David Lloyd, and Ann Van Kuren for race day assistance. Special thanks to Marie for wonderful photos.
