This year's male winner was Andy Cochrane, who ran a speedy time of 19:11! Paul Lyce and Matthew Barkley were the second and third place finishers to cross the line, respectively. Rima Carlson held down the women's division with a 21minute flat 5K, making her the fastest woman of the day. Kristin Moriarty took second place, and Sam Newberry took third, leaving her dog in the dust! Results can be found here!

Men's winner, Cochrane, finishing strong!!
Women's winner, Carlson, pushing it to the finish line!
There's still snow, but its not stopping Eric!
What a great day to run a 5k!


Way to go, Sarah! (If you're curious, the fancy digital timing system and I got along great!)

Spring Fling 5K Race Update #2

Tomorrow's the big day! The weather outlook is looking great, too! Just a few things for racers to keep in mind:

#1 The race will start at the Portage Canal Trailhead next to the Minerals and Materials Building on Michigan Tech's campus. See below for parking details.
#2 If you haven't registered yet, be sure to do so before midnight tonight if you'd like the $5 entry fee.
#3 Pay your entry fee to a member of the CCRC at our Spring Fling table tomorrow, anytime between noon and 2:45pm.
#4 Don't forget to sign a waiver form!

Parking: If you park at the SDC (the south-side lot is always free!), be sure to walk to main campus and take the elevator or stairs from campus-ground side (which is actually the 6th floor) of either the Dow or the M&M all the way to the 1st floor. Exit the building (there's really only one way out!) and you should easily find the race crew anytime after 3:00.

Hope to see ya'll there!

Keep runnin'.
