October 7, 2012
It was a crisp, cool fall day as 68 runners competed in the 22nd 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 we had several runners complete their first 5K race. This year’s beginners were Mia Iceland, Ethan Rowland, Matthew Maguire, Keith Inklovich, Alison Weiss, Julia Krawczyk, Stephen Krawczyk, Andrew Krawczyk, and Jane McGarity. 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 second place finisher, Alan Effrig, 32, took first place in 19:04, followed by Judd Michael, 50, in 19:24, and third place finisher, Jonathan Stube, 29, in 19:53. In the women’s race, Colleen Danz, 33, took first place in 20:05, followed by second place finisher, Catherine Curtin,13, in 20:52, and third place finisher, Tara Murray, 36, in 21:55.
A large number of families, including the Shireys, Leidys, Icelands, Krawczyks, Maguires, McGaritys, McLaughlins, Simons 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. Past race director, Marty Mazur, provided invaluable assistance with many pre-race and race day duties. Marty Klancher provided assistance with the applications that were mailed in. As usual, Dave Eggler and Cheryl Capone did an excellent job in tracking the runners’ times and compiling the results. Dean Capone provided finish line support. Thanks to Fran Zola, Greg Fredericks, Marv Hall 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, Andrew, Jami Rodgers, Scott Morgan, Davis Michael, Greg Fredericks, Marv Hall, Fran Zola, Anita Johnson, and Haley Johnson.
Finally, a big Thank You goes out to the race sponsors. The Knights of Columbus generously allowed the NVRC to host the race in their hall, and donated a thoughtful cash gift to help defray race expenses. Wal-Mart provided a store gift card which was used to purchase pos- race food and water for the runners. Other local businesses, including Rapid Transit Sports, Dicks Sporting Goods, and The Bicycle Shop provided prizes for the runners. As in previous years, Rosewood Silkscreening did a great job with the race T-shirts.
Over $600 was raised for the race beneficiary, the Schlow Regional Library Children's Department. Thanks again and I hope everyone had a great time and will consider running the race again next year.
