Philly Runfest
Philly Runfest is a unique race where the 5k, 10k, and 15k all race over the same (slightly short) loop one, two, or three times.
5k
Unfortunately the timing company seems to haveoverwritten the 5k with Pride Run results, we're gonna have to skip the 5k this week. Maybe it'll be corrected by next week.
I think Chris Watson won, so bad luck for him.
10k
Assuming the world record time of 24:50 is incorrect in the results, Travis Leadbetter notched the win for the men in 33:12!
Andrea Allen snagged 2nd with a 39:03 time, which is still an easy sub 40 with the course conversion. Nice!
