Mine Falls Summer Trail Series - Handicap Race

Mine Falls Summer Trail Race Series - Race #12

Race Story:

Race 12 ended the Summer Trail Series with a bang as 103 runners participated in the 2011 Handicap Race.

Racers were sent off in waves based on their course PR's for this year (from slowest to fastest)

with the idea that everyone would finish around the same time. And, twe came pretty close to just that!

Also, due to the nature of the event being that everyone is either racing to catch the slower person in front

or fighting to keep ahead of the faster person behind, we had 55 people set new personal best times!

So, on a "fall-like" New England evening over 1/2 of the field was motivated enough to run a new PR!

The 5k race winner was Jenn Torrosian who finished in a net time of 35:48, or about 3 1/2 minutes faster

than her previous best. The next fastest time was run by Ryan Fischer who ran a 24:52 which was about

2 minutes better than his best 2011 5k time! Congrats to both. Now you have something to aim for in 2012!

In the 5m race,  Cathy Wilson ran away from the filed in a net time of 42:09 which was a 4 min PR for her.

Coming in just after Cathy, was Matt Nault who also bettered his best this year by over 3 1/2 minutes!

The 2011 Summer Trail Race Series was a phenomenal success - beyond my wildest imagination!

We were blessed with more runners (despite a few big rain days ) and more fun than ever before.

Once again, thanks to all who came to run or volunteer. I hope to see you all (and more) next year!
