Run to Win

The Hannaford Turkey Trot 5k was this morning in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It was a beautiful day to run, and I wish that I had been. I got to help the kids get through their fun run at 8:30, though, and then got to take chips off of people’s ankles behind the finish line. It was a lot of fun.

The weather was ideal for a late November race in Maine. Clear skies, a light breeze, and temperatures around 40 degrees. There were 589 finishers.

7 of the top 10 finishers, and the first 4 to cross the line, were in their late teens or early 20s.

John Wilson won the race handily by over half a minute in 15:43. Carry Buterbaugh led the women through the finish line by almost a minute.

The Hannaford Turkey Trot was this morning. Unfortunately, I was not able to get there this year to take pictures. Dirigo had a very good showing, taking the top three positions in the men’s race and the top two positions in the women’s race. Ethan Hemphill won with a time of 15:39, over a minute faster than last year’s winning time, and was followed 19 seconds later by Mike Payson. 12^th over all was Sheri Piers, leading the women by over a minute to win in 17:59. Marjorie Graff followed her in 19:08.

The Hannaford Turkey Trot was this morning in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Devin Shaw won the race in 16:52, followed closely by 5 teenagers over the next half minute or so. Kristin Barry won the women’s race a minute behind Devin Shaw in 17:52. There were 419 finishers. Images of the start line and finish can be seen at my image gallery; if you would like a higher resolution copy or a print of any of the pictures just let me know. I have not yet done any editing of the photos, but I will at some point in the near future. As I have a reason to go through the pictures, I will update the descriptions to something more appropriate than what is currently there.
