THANKSGIVING DAY's
"Run To Feed The Hungry" 5K/10K
This event put on Rich Hana and his Capital Roadrace Management group has grown into an event of thousands raising money for the Sacramento Food Bank.
We used to time this event but now Rich has his own race management and timing company - and are doing it very well.
The race draws a talented field with solid prize money as the carrot.
Our own master runner standout, BILL BUSHNELL, made the trip to Sac to compete in a talented field and placed 23rd overall, 3rd in his age group with a 33:25. Top master was Dan Nelson who ran 31:43 for 11th overall.
Top Master woman was Angela Mathews in 40:44.
The runners who wanted a finish time were required to pre-register and had a 5 minute start on the rest of the large field who came out to support a noteworthy cause on Thanksgiving morning.
Simon Sawe, training in New Mexico, won it in 29:16 with Rich Bouliet, who had won Run To the Farside, in 30:45. Johanna Bonfiglio took the women's crown in 34:02.
In the accompanying 5K top honors went to Mathhew Johnsrud (22) in 14:56; masters men was won by Jeff Hildebrandt (45) in 15:52.
Top woman was Katie Fontana (27) in 17:29 while Karen Jeffers (42) took top masters in 18:58.
