Since we’ve been so busy running (myself included) it’s been difficult to post results from recent races. It’s finally time to get around to that, as there are several people that deserve recognition for great achievements, and for representing the COTR. Here is a brief (incomplete) summary of some notable COTR results, as well as photos of runners wearing their COTR shirts. (I have included everyone here who is either from Central Ohio, that I know of, or has purchased a COTR shirt and therefore supports the club...making this a bit of a random results listing)

COTR @ Umstead
It was an incredible day at Umstead for Ohio runners! We had 15 runners start the day and 12 received their buckle. Of those 12, Jay Smithberger was the top finisher at 4th overall in a time of 14:52 - a PR. Other people to buckle and PR were Star and Darris Blackford, and Terri Lemke. First time 100 mile finishers included Kathy Wolf, Mike Keller, and Lindsey Brokaw. Michael Patton also received a one day buckle. The always reliable Fred Davis III finished in 26:20, Harold Vessin finished in just over 28 hours, and Karen Kramer finished in 29 hours. Darrin Bright made it to mile 87.5 before a DNF due to injury. Dave Huss and Julie Bowen-Miller completeed 75 miles and Shane Sampson completed 62.5.
Congrats to all that ran, especially those who earned their first buckle or set persaonal bests! A big thank you goes out to everyone that came down to Raleigh to support the runners, including family, friends, crew, and pacers!

It's a small park right off SR-315 behind the Olentangy Valley Center Shopping Mall about a mile north of I-270. Here is a mapto the start/finish location.

Hocking Hills Labor Day Trail Run
Thanks to everyone who came out to make the 1st Annual COTR Hocking Hills Labor Day Run a success! A special thanks goes out to Jen and Barb Patton who spent the whole day out crewing for the runners.
We had 30 people out on the trails, with about 1/2 choosing to to do the 11.5 mile run and 1/2 choosing to do the 28 mile run. The course ended up being a little off the advertised 1/2 and full marathon distance but that's par for the course in a FA and trail run :) . If we had started at the Dining Lodge we would have been able to hit those distances right on the nose but I'm not sure anyone would have prefered two extra miles on road! All in all I think everyone enjoyed the trails, the weather, and the company.
Happy Trails!
