For a summer evening race, it wasn’t especially hot.
Clouds kept the sun from shining too brightly and an occasional breeze blew through the trees and offered a cooling moment to runners.
Sandy Wetherhold made his customary speech and attempted a dramatic on-site burning of an unearned 2021 T-shirt. While the attempt did NOT go up in smoke, the crowd appreciated the effort nonetheless.
The great Bob Sosnik watched on approvingly from the side of his track, and two gents stole everyone’s hearts with their grit and determination.
Volunteers shepherded runners to the starting line and the timing table … and the water table.
Nearly 100 runners proved their mettle in race after race, flying around the track in an impressive demonstration of grace, athleticism and sportsmanship.
Just another running of TCTC’s Ultimate Runner.
