SUMMER ROUNDUP TRIATHLON (posted July 12th)

Jim did the Oympic distance race, completing the 1000-meter swim (shortened from 1500 meters last year), 40K bike and 10K run in 2:33:27--nearly 50 minutes ahead of his only competitor in the men's 65-69 age group.  Here are his splits:

VOL STATE 500K (updated July 12th)

On Thursday morning (7/9), LOTO runner Scott Page and 65 others will board a ferry at the tiny town of Dorena, Missouri and cross the Mississippi River to Hickman, Kentucky. From there, they will begin a 314-mile running adventure across Tennessee, with a final destination of "The Rock" in the Sand Mountain region of northwestern Georgia. The Last Annual Vol State 500K is one of "Lazarus Lake's" races, and gives competitors up to 10 days to complete the course, although there are intermediate cutoffs. (The course record is just over 79 hours.)

Here are some links to follow the race and Scott's progress:

Here is a snapshot of the race as of 7:30 p.m. Monday (108 hours race time):

-- Francesca Muccini was the overall winner, finishing in 3 days, 10 hours and 49 minutes, smashing the women's course record by over 20 hours.  She's now a two-time overall winner, having won in 2017 in 4 days and 4 hours.
-- The men's winner, Bob Hearn, finished one hour and fifteen minutes behind Francesca.
-- Scott dropped out at the 60-hour mark, after completing 125 miles.
-- 15 have quit, 2 have finished, and 49 remain on the course.

HANNIBAL CANNIBAL 5K/10K/15K (posted July 6th)

A couple runners from the Lake area were in Hannibal on Saturday for the Hannibal Cannibal 5K/10K/15K. 

Joyce Ryerson, who participated at last year's race, finished the 5K in 37:27, placing 16th (of 35) in the women's 45-49 age group. Amy Hadfield of Camdenton, whom we haven't seen listed in any race results the past few years, took 7th in the 45-49 age group with a 31:42 finish in the 5K.

A former Lake-area runner, Julio Juarez, who now lives in Hannibal, took second overall (of 108 competitors) in the 15K, finishing in 1:00:57.  Julio was the overall winner (in 17:59) of the 2017 Give 'Em The Bird 5K.

Complete race results can be found here.

There were 894 total finishers at this year's race, about 10% below last year's total of 989. That makes Hannibal Cannibal the biggest race held in Missouri since the start of the pandemic.  It will likely hold that distinction until the fall racing season arrives.

CASEY L. SHOEMATE MEMORIAL DONUT 5K RUN (posted June 22nd)

The Eldon Police Officers Association's fourth annual Casey L. Shoemate Memorial Donut 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, July 25th.  It will start at 7:30 a.m. at the Public Safety Department building at 111 S. Oak Street in Eldon.  Race-day registration will be open from 6:45 to 7:15 a.m.

The entry fee is $20, or $30 on race day.  To be guaranteed a t-shirt on race day, you need to pre-register by no later than July 10th.

Click to download a registration form.

In case you haven't attended the event previously, here's how the Donut Run works. Just prior to the race, each participant is given a glazed doughnut. Off-duty police officers and a few volunteers (aka "donut thieves") at multiple locations along the course will try to steal the donuts away from participants. Only those participants who reached the finish line with a fully intact donut will receive a medal.

The race is named in memory of Miller County Sheriff's deputy (and, prior to that, Eldon police officer) Casey Shoemate, who died in a traffic accident while responding to an emergency call on April 20, 2018.
