Natalie Dale Begins a 33.5 mile space adventureFive runners from the Beyond discovered what lurks behind 26.2 Miles when they completed the Kal-Haven Trail Relay 33.5 solo run. Rich Schau and Brian Campbell completed the entire trek together, synchronizing their finish to 5:45:22. Tim Bredahl was close behind, finishing in 5:50:59. Ron Reid arrived a tad late to the finish line, but used his speed over distance to catch and pass 5 other solo runners. Natalie Dale was our sole solo female, finishing in 6:12:54.
In the 2-person male team competition, Bob Poznanski and Mark Sigrids combined to form team Dynamic Duo, and the pair finished 2nd in their division. What happened to their team name? Scott Taylor and Tim Sochor formed a 2 person unit without a name. They finished in 4:33:33 before heading to Clementines for post run fun. Brenda Stoddard and Andrew Vidor combined to form co-ed team Double Trouble, finishing in 4:29:51.
The Beyond’s Gale Fischer, Jon Willard, Peggy Zeeb and Bonnie Sexton were joined by Jeff Domenico and Carl Thompson as part of defending champs and 6-person co-ed team, Six Pack to Go. The record-holding team led the competition until the last mile, when the talented anchor leg from the WMU Running Club made his move and won the competition by 32 seconds. Team Six Pack’s record from 2006 still stands.
Vicky Mergen made up a brand new 3-person team category when she combined with Matt Henry and Doug Doorn to form yet another team without a name. Congratulations to all our Beyond Kal-Haven Trail Relay finishers! Thanks to the Beyond’s Julie Wojtaszek who along with Race Director Terry Hutchins coordinated this fun event to raise money for the GOTR Girls on Track Program.
