The weather was perfect for the 5th 3rd Annual Novemberfest Trail Run on
November 19 at Nashua's Mine Falls Park. The final results of the
controversial finish are pending decision from race director headquarters in
sunny Florida. A ruling is expected soon.
Bill and Monica were chauffered to the start line precisely at 11:33 am. They
came just in time to start this traditional religious celebration of running,
which is hosted by the WECG.
The controversial result involved Gate City Strider legends "Iron" Mike
Hagerty and Tom "Long Knife" Conley. Did they really finish first or was
there underhanded tactics on the self service results board? A decision is
pending. Mike Maher, who thought he had won the race is expected to file
suit in Florida court.
Most Novemberfest harriers were delayed by crowds at the water stops and did
not run personal bests. Hot chicken soup greeted all of the runners at the
finish.
Hot food, cold drinks, tasty treats, and numerous door prizes were found at
the traditional post race party, held at the James E. Cost Post. They gave
away so many prizes that they even gave away the kitchen sink.
When you think it can't get any better, so how it always does. Thanks to the
many volunteers and sponsors. Without your help this fun event wouldn't occur.
