Title:2nd Annual C2C Ultramarathon and Relay
Date:Saturday October 20th, 2012
Author:Darrin Young
Report:
The 2nd Annual Courthouse to Capitol (C2C) Ultramarathon and Relay was held on Saturday, October 20th on a perfect day along a beautiful trail. The race began at 7am in front of the Boone County Courthouse and the temperature was 43 degrees with no wind. The temperature had risen to 66 degree when the final runner crossed the finish line at the Missouri State Capitol around 4pm. There was a light breeze up to 9mph under sunny skies. Rain, humidity, and wind must of had the day off. It is interesting to note that last years conditions were identical to this years, which is only a few degrees off the average high and low for the 20th of October per the Farmer's Almanac. The only thing I heard runners praising more than the weather, was the volunteers. Over 30 volunteers helped at intersections, aid stations, and some rode bikes the entire way, providing support and assistance on the spot. Many volunteers moved from one location to another, over the span of the point to point race.
The overall Solo winner was Brian Cohn in a time of 5:47:47. His time was almost 13 minutes faster than last year's winner. For the second year, the first place female (4th overall) was Mary Ellen Bradshaw. She bettered last year time by over 10 minutes. The first team, again this year, was the "CTC Guys". They improved last years time by almost 2 minutes and finished in 3:55:28. Their goal was to go sub 6:00 average and they achieved that goal by averaging 5:59.5! Their finish time gave them a mere 19 second buffer. The second place team was also the first coed team. "KB and Crew" finished in 5:03:49, followed closely be "Two and a half men" in 5:04:52, and "May is a beautiful thing" in 5:05:47. "Hot Flashes" which was the first all-female team and first all-masters team, finished 7th overall in 5:28:22. "Team Landmark" was awarded the Most Generous award for raising the most money for the MSNT fbo Max Lewis. Their finishing time was 6:33:35. "Team Stover" took home the first Husband-Wife team award and finished in 7:06:01.
Although it will be a couple weeks before all sponsorship and pledge money is in, my best guess it that the C2C raised over $2,000 for Max. I will send out the final total as soon as I know it.
Thank you to all runners, volunteers, and sponsors for making the second annual C2C a huge success. I hope you'll join me for the 3rd annual C2C, scheduled for Sunday, October 20th, 2013. I am changing the race day to a Sunday so I will no longer compete with Mizzou Football games.
