The 2011 Cape Road Runner's Grand Prix Series closes out this year with the always popular Jingle Bell Run. The chill is on, but nearly 150 runners have turned out at Fitness Plus for a morning of competition and an assault on Gordonville Hill. The race turns into a two-man dogfight between Cape Central state cross country qualifier Brandon Bryant and Matt Pfau. The two are shoulder to shoulder at the final turn until Pfau unleashes one of the most memorable finishing kicks of the year to take the overall. Nichole Clippard runs away from the rest of the female pack to win the overall by over two minutes. Below are all age group winners:
