August 26th Race Results

Wanted to send out congratulations to several RMEC members who raced this past weekend.

HIGH COUNTRY HALF MARATHON: Congrats to Ron Fleming who continues his assault on tough races. He ran a 1:30 half marathon at the High Country Half Marathon on Saturday. This course shares much of the Grandfather Mountain Marathon roads, and climbs 1,467 feet. He placed 7th overall.  RESULTS

WARRIOR DASH:  Congrats to Amber, Jon, and Dennis for completing the Warrior Dash this weekend. Dennis CRUSHED the race by placing 26th out of 5,810. WOW! That gave him 2nd in his age group.  Jon places 3,688th with a time of 52:09.  Amber was right on his heels with a 52:39.  Great job everyone!report. Can't wait.  RESULTS

RALEIGH 8000:  The RMEC had a good showing at the Raleigh 8000 in both runners and volunteers.  I am unbelievable grateful to all of the Rocky Mount people who traveled to Raleigh to volunteer.  Selfishly I had been looking at the Raleigh forecast not realizing how dangerous it was becoming at home.  Major thanks to William, Jeff, and Ursula.  I completely understand those of you who were not able to help, and hope everyone suffered minimal damages.

On to the race. . . Brian Lankford and Patti Miller both took 3rd in the Master's Division! Derek Hurdle ran a 35:38 taking6th in his age group despite back pain.  Levi placed 12th in the same age group with a 40:28.  Brandie Ghiloni and Alane Floyd completed their first 8k with a 1:12:06.  Greg Delbridge place 5th in his age group with a 37:59.  Eric Ghiloni also completed his first 8k with a 54:20.  Jeff Hartney escaped the cost and was able to win his age group with a 32:46.  All things consider, a heck of good day for the RMEC!  RESULTS
