Other weekend races (September 19 - 20th):
Three runners from the Lake area traveled to Springfield on Saturday for the Running from Squatch 5K/10K/Half. The YMCA's Kim Sovcik did the 10K, finishing in 1:31:29, and placing 54th among 65 women. Forty-five runners took on the "Squatch-Fecta", consisting of the 5K, 10K and half marathon. (Results for that race showed more split and pace information than I've ever seen before--42 columns of data.) Rebeka Lortz of Lake Ozark finished the Squatch-Fecta in 5:40:58, placing 24th of 44 finishers. Austin Reed of Rocky Mount ran the 10K (2:31:00) and half (2:42:58), but not the 5K, so he was listed as DNF.
The biggest race in the state this weekend was the Kansas City Zoo's Run for the Hornbills 5K. They had 2,242 participants in the race, down just a tad from 2,315 last year.
