Thank you for joining the Finger Lakes Runners Club for the 42nd anniversary of the Skunk Cabbage Classic, and we hope you had a great time!
- Results: Congratulations to our winners! In the 10K, Alexander Simpson of Ithaca won handily in 33:48, outpacing second place by 3:11. Emily Miller of Freeville was the first woman (and fourth overall) in a new course record of 38:21, which was 32 seconds ahead of Jennifer Boerner Selig and 39 seconds ahead of Selig’s record from the inaugural running of the new course last year. For the half marathon, John Salva of Conklin ran a 1:15:03 to win by 31 seconds, and Inger Aaberg of Ithaca took the women’s crown with a 1:31:19, 2:29 ahead of second place. Full results are up on the FLRC website, with links to RunSignup’s awards pages.
- Photos: Race photos are up! Kudos to photographers Steve Gallow and Paul Houle for capturing hundreds of fabulous race photos, both out on the course and at the finish line. Although we can’t guarantee everyone will find themselves, it’s worth scanning the photos to see if there’s a keeper of you or your friends. (If it’s not set by default, the “filename ascending” sort makes it easiest to scan through the two sets of photos chronologically to find yourself.)
- Shirts still available: If you registered too late to get one of this year’s snazzy Skunkhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy shirts or need another for a gift, you can still order one for pickup or delivery.
If you have comments about the race, volunteers to call out for going above and beyond, or suggestions for improving Skunk next year, please email me.
See you on the roads, trails, and tracks of the Finger Lakes!
