 This year like some others, was gloomy and you could
feel it building up for a good all-day rain, and it was a bit
chilly.
Post-run there was an added twist of goodwill to this year’s run for
those who were going for time and placement. A young man in the lead
was unfamiliar with the course and missed the last turn running
further that the other runners. He corrected and clocked in for a
fourth place.
The runner receiving first place wanted to make it right.
Seth Goodman said, "I could lie and say that I won this morning’s
cold and wet 5 K (which on paper I did). However, this young man is
the real winner and MVP. He missed the final turn, which made me the
first to cross the finish line. I found him after the awards and
presented him with my first place overall medal because at the end
of the day, he would have blown me away had he made that final turn.
Loved to see his eyes light up and smile on his face when he was
presented with what he rightfully deserved and threw it proudly
around his neck.”
Goodman added, “To all who participated, good run! I
will happily settle for my hard earned 2nd place overall finish."
