Bells Hills 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k RESULTS


Bells Hills Races - 2013 RESULTS


With downpours the hour before the event and threat and sightings of lightning, we had a turnout of  close to half of the 57 registered participants. But it sure was nice to see the dedicated runners out there! With showers here and there, the race progressed. Runners found their way through the open fields and grassy puddles and on to the slew of polychromatic birdhouses at the finish. 
Soaked racers stuck around to chat and cheer on people they never met. Runners in the back began to take down streamers and clean up without even thinking about affecting their times. 

The finishing champions were: 
(Place, Name, Age, Time)      *=Female
