80 runners and walkers converged at the St. Paul Church/School in Jackson, Missouri on May 26th for a great cause. Guatemala Missions supports much needed activities and Cindy Drewett and her group of volunteers once again put together a nice course and race experience for all involved.
It was not hard to get warmed up prior to the race as the temperature was 76 degrees with the normal Missouri humidity rearing its head. The out-and-back course gave the runners a nice downhill run to begin their 5K quest. The course of rolling hills was challenging but not overly brutal and provided just enough of a variance to make things interesting from a racing aspect.
Overall Winners were Nicole Bolen and Kevin Hammes with times of 21:22 and 17:39 respectively. Ken Peters dominated the 60 and over age division with a solid time of 30:04.

Photography was provided by Goddard Photography and Childcare was provided by the St. Paul Youth Group. Thanks much to both for providing their services. Overall, the course was well marked-out as well as accurate and the race director provided plenty of course support for the runners. Overall winners received plaques and gift certificates to Missouri Running Company and age group winners received medallions. I would recommend this race to others in the community. Thanks to all who took their personal time to provide this event to the local running community.
