The race for the womens's title was even closer. Summer Purcell 27, of Goldsboro and 13 year old Nancy O'Brien of Snow Hill finshished with identical times of 27:38. The event also featured a 1-Mile Walk that 12 people enjoyed. The weather was fantastic and the runners enjoyed the course. Here are some comments from runners:
"Great race yesterday!! thanks for putting it on. I really like these little races which usually tour the town and all its scenery."
"Thank you so much for the race saturday. I really enjoyed it. It was nice getting out and meeting new people. Hope this is an annual event. Also I would like to thank all those that volunteered it was nice to know that the streets where blocked so we didn't have to worry about being hit by cars."
A special thanks to the Snow Hill Fire Department, Snow Hill EMS and the Greene County Sherrif Department for keeping the racers safe! The proceeds from the race are going to fund the Clubs' various service projects.
