RUNNING WITH THE GOATS - ELKMONT RUNNER RESULTS

What a day it was in Elkmont on Saturday!
July 12th was the first ever "Running with the Goats", hosted by Belle Chevre.  The day began for the volunteers at 5:00 am as they arrived to get things set up for the events that would begin at 7:00 am.  A lot of work goes on behind the scenes – much of it prior to race day.  Anyway, on race day, there is still a lot that needs to be done and many volunteers are needed to ensure participants have a great experience – from packet pick-up to the clean up after all the runners and spectators have headed home.  From what I could tell, there were volunteers from our Elkmont Volunteer Fire Department, Limestone County Sheriff’s Department, Huntsville Track Club, Elkmont Cross Country team, citizens of Elkmont

 

It seems as if the 5K and ½ Marathon distances have taken over the racing scene of late and it is great to see that Running with the Goats has included a 10K in their race options!  Even better, the 10K course is one that the Lions Club had certified, so runners are eligible to  record state age group records should they break the record currently on the books!  Folks, let me tell you….the runners showed up in Elkmont!  According to the results, a total of 536 runners finished the two timed races (10K and 5K).  Not sure how many were registered for the fun run, I would guess around 100-150.  Not a bad turn out!   Not bad at all!

OK – let’s get on with the details!!
 
The 10K (6.2 miles) started at 7:00 am and saw 194 finishers.

The race was led by Noah Flynn from Decatur, AL – who won with a time of 36:45!  36:45 – do you realize that means he ran each mile at an average pace of 5:55 per mile?  Even more impressive – this guy…is only 12 years old.  He missed beating his own state record, set at the 2014 Cotton Row run by 15 seconds!  

Let’s skip to the Elkmont runners and other locals that can often be seen running in town and on the trail several times a week:
