In its second year in 2016, over 100 runners turned out for this event. Jose Mora was the only runner to break 18 minutes on the flat out-and-back course, finishing in a course-record 17:17. Tracy Proctor was top woman with a 21:56 effort – a new course record for the women.
The course will start near the entrance to the Multi-Purpose Building and go south on Capps Farm Road to the turn around. Coming back there is only a slight rise before it levels off in sight of the finish line.
