A mild temperature for August and a soft overcast greeted runners for the 7 a.m. start of this year’s race.

This year’s event saw runners from age 15 to 85 take part in the early morning tour of the Village of Boalsburg.

Eighteen-year-old Garrison Famiglio took the overall win, with Eric Silver and Mason Pfeil taking second and third. The women’s race was won by Sara Pfeil, with Katie Croyle and Cindy Penharlow placing second and third. Five master’s runners, two of them over 60, finished in the top ten.

The race served up grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches provided by Wegmans. Numerous drawing prizes were handed out, donated by area businesses, including many shops located near the race course in Boalsburg: A Basket Full, Boalsburg Car Company, Leopold’s Chocolates, Portfolio - A Salon, Riley on Main and Seven Mountains Wine Cellars.

A hearty thanks to Davis Michael for assistance with supplies, and to Nicole Pote, Cory Neidig and Ann Van Kuren for race day photos.
