I just got the results from this past weekend's Wabash Strawberry Stomp 5K.

26 year-old BJ Needler of Wabash ran a 15:14 (4:54), the fastest time of the weekend. Ashley Ritchey of Spencerville won the female division 18:27 (5:56). Participants came from places like Peru, Brazil, LaFontaine, and other great Indiana cities!! Some came from Texas and Michigan to take part in this strawberry stomper! All proceeds benefitted the Wabash County YMCA. Full results here (pdf).

Race Results from June 9 and more!

Sorry these are so late, I've been gone all weekend and the beginning of this week. This is the first chance I've had to look up results!

While we are talking about race results, I thought I'd highlight a newer running website called Athlinks. Its a running "social networking" website, based around race results. If nothing else you should go to the site and search for your name, you might be surprised at how many results are there. You can take the next step and become a member and "claim" your results. I was actually able to find some from my year in New Jersey as well as races around Indiana. They currently have 15,000+ members with almost 9 million runners listed and almost 16 million results from 39,000+ races around the country. You can see my profile by clicking here. After I use it more I'll do a more in depth article about it.


I had trouble finding some of the results from this weekend but here is what I found:

The Brazil Habitat 5K was won by James Grounds in 17:55 (5:46) They didn't differentiate Male and Female but I think the first place female ran a 24:30 (7:53) and was Angie Katlmann. Congrats to all 21 finishers of this cross-country event to support the Clay County Habitat for Humanity. Complete results here.

The Bloomington Eastfest 5K was won by Tim Kote in 17:44 (5:42) and Brenda Taylor won the women's division in a time of 21:53 (7:02). Complete results here.

Event manager Tuxbro had this to say about the event:
Outrun the Sun a big success!

Well over 2,000 people registered for the Outrun the Sun Race on Saturday evening June 2 to support melanoma education and research. Participants and their families enjoyed post-race Donatos Pizza, Ritter's Frozen Custard, Kids' Runs, music by Stone Hollow and great prizes at the Neutrogena, SHAPE Magazine, and Subaru tents. Thanks to everyone who braved the humidity and chance of rain! Next year's Outrun the Sun is June 7!
