RCGC Turkey Burner Mile Run Recap

About 30 runners decided to burn a few  extra calories and figure out how fast that they could run a mile this past Sunday November 30, 2014 for A Turkey Burner Mile Run at Summit Park in Blue Ash OH. For their efforts, runners received a finisher prize. Conditions for the race were warm, overcast and windy.  The wind would effect the runners on the out and back relatively flat mile course on the former taxi runway of Blue Ash Airport.
Top finisher was Ekaterina Nikiforova  with a time of 5:06 and was the top female overall.  She was followed by Larisa Mikhaylova who ran a 6:10 and Kelly O' Dell who ran a 7:14. Harvey Lewis was the top male with a time of 5:27 followed by Dennis Miles  who ran a 5:57 and John Garrity who ran a 6:16. (View results).
 Thank you to our volunteers Cindy Cranmer, Tom Glasscock, Julia Glasscock, Paul Roche and her friend Tom, Stacy Osborne, and Paul Seibert.  Without their help, the race could not have happened.  A special thank to the City of Blue Ash for allowing us to use Summit Park and the taxi runway for the race.  See you next year. VIEW COMPLETE RESULTS.
