Nov. 7, 2010. HRW provided racers in both the 5K, which had a racewalking division, and the 8K in this 25th edition of the race in an historic district of northeast Kansas City. We had one out-of-town competitor who came in from the St. Louis area, Dave Couts. He took 1st in the 5K racewalk as expected for a national champion. The first woman was Julie Haller (all the way from Olathe). Fred Adams took second for men in the racewalk and 2nd in the running division (75-79).

In the 8K (no racewalking division), Martie Delon took 2nd and Floyd Delon took 1st (both 80+), while Alan Poisner took 3rd (75-79). Floyd and Martie had intended to do the 5K but they were having so much fun that they decided to push on for an extra 3K. Mark Landry not only added this short (for him) race to his portfolio but also brought along his wife and son to race. We thank our club volunteers, Pamela Felton and Chuck Zarrelli, for their help. They were able to join all of the assembled record number of racers in the traditional pancake breakfast afterwards. We express our thanks to Sue Robinette and the KC Track Club for once again sponsoring this excellent event. See results and pictures.
