Sixth Annual Caspian Challenge Results
The Greensboro Association held the Sixth Annual Caspian Challenge this past weekend. Ninety runners and walkers from Greensboro and surrounding communities joined us at the ballfield on Tolman Corner for this annual Sunday outing. Proceeds from this year’s event go to the GA’s Lake Protection Fund. Co-sponsored by Circus Smirkus and the Cellars at Jasper Hill, the run brought runners of all ages together to compete in either a 5K or the 6.8-mile loop around the lake. Many families participated and this year saw a record number of children entering both the 5K and the lake loop. The field was competitive and conditions (cool temperatures and overcast skies) made for a fast race. Everyone enjoyed delicious homemade baked goods at the finish.
Evan Thornton-Sherman, age 13, captured the lake loop in a winning time of 42:56. He led the field from the start, but no one could catch him. In the 5K, overall winner was 12-year old Cormac Leahy of Greensboro with a time of 20:41. Complete results are available here:
