Looking strong and fit, this group of men worked hard to gain some separation from one another. On the left wearing bib No. 280 is Derek Smith. John Martinsen, in bib No. 207, leads the pack with Kieran Scannell (shirtless) just behind him and Jeremy Dockan, No. 245 just off his shoulder. Shane Steel, wearing bib No. 225, bides his time before breaking away from the field on his way to a convincing victory.
The Fisherman’s Picnic Trail Run on Saturday, August 4 took place on a hot muggy day. The trails were soaked from a heavy rainstorm the night before, so runners ran with soggy shoes. Despite that, spirits were high and all the runners appeared to have a great time.
The Fisherman’s Picnic Trail Run is sponsored by the North Shore Ski and Run Club and proceeds from the race support the local Cook County High School skiing and running programs.
Results of some of the racers are posted below. See complete results at www.boreal.org/~durfee/results_fp_run_12.htm.
Kieran Scannell once again finished second at the Fisherman’s Picnic Trail Run to lead all local runners.
Sarissa Falk has had a great summer of training for cross country, evidenced here by her second place in the Women’s division of the Fisherman’s Picnic 5-mile trail run.
If it seems like Braidy Powers wins the race walk division of every trail race he enters it’s because he does cross the line first. Or at least it seems like he does.
