Temperatures for the Tortoise and Hare 5K were below freezing. A wet snow intensified throughout the race with several inches of snow fell from 7AM to 10AM. However, everyone really enjoyed this great handicap race!! Runners got handicaps based on their Age, Sex, Height and Weight. The race tries to eliminate those variables and tries to emphasize conditioning. Due to the extreme conditions runners were weighed in and their height measured with all running gear (as in WARM clothes) and shoes on. They were not allowed to remove clothes after weigh in...not that anyone wanted to! The top five received great trophies. JJ Huie had to hit the afterburners to pass his dad down the stretch to garner second place honors for the second straight year! Check out the photos of the quick weather protection that Al Grimme and the guys set up to protect our assets.
