Summer Season?

No need to visit another website for real-time race information.  We’ve added a link in the upper right-hand portion of the page entitled View Event Results  ——>

If you have any race related photos or videos to share, please send me an email or contribute directly to our new Flickr group:

While we’re preparing the official race wrap-up here are some of the photos taken with a motion-sensing camera at the finish line.  Hopefully the photos will give you some idea of the speeds involved in this year’s track.
