    2021 RCGC Summer Country Series Race #3 Recap


    The 2021 Summer RCGC Cross Country Series held its 3rd and final race at the Valley View Nature Preserve, near Pattison Elementary in Milford this past Thursday. 6 runners showed up to race in sunny and hot and humid conditions on a dry course.  The course needed to be altered as campers were parked on part of the original course so runners ran slightly more than 2.5 miles. 

    Top runner was Seth Streitmatter  who covered the  course barefoot in 17:48. Top female was Allison Streitmatter who ran a 22:48. Thank you to Tom Glasscock, and Todd Hofacre for timing and course set-up and course teardown. See you next year for the 2022 RCGC Summer Cross Country Series.
