Age Group: 5/24
Overall: 63/209
Performance: Average
Course: some athletes claim the course was 13.9 miles long according to their gps reading. many athletes expected much better run time. compared run time of 3 athletes with their results from last year at Tawas and they all came ran 10-15 minutes loger this year than last year (different run course last year though). strong arguments that the run course was in fact longer than 13.1 miles.
