****************************

I've posted the Team R.E.D. member results for the Winter 5K Series.  I've posted results from each of the first two races... keep in mind it's a 3-race series.  Runners can drop their slowest time, and the top two finishes will be compiled to determine a winner.  The final race is scheduled for the afternoon of New Years Eve.

It's shaping up to be quite a dual in the 51-55 Women's division as Sonja and Lorelei are neck & neck as we approach race #3.

Generous prizes are offered in every age group.
1st place age group wins a pair of shoes from TerraLoco!
2nd place age group wins a $60 gift card at Appolo Liquor!  Unless, of course, it's an underage age group - they will receive a replacement prize.
3rd place age group wins a $25 gift card at Rochester Cycling!
