Weekend Results

With the temperatures peaking in Huntsville, there was only one short distance race in the area.  Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Alabama will hosted its first annual The BIG 5K Run at Bridge Street and the Nike Fleet Feet Racing Team was well represented.  Donald Bowman lead the charge, taking 2nd place overall, followed by Eric Charette in 3rd.  The runners took a wrong turn so the times appear slow but the actual distance was around 3.31 miles.

2 Donald Bowman - 18:39
3 Eric Charette - 18:46
7 Jon Elmore - 19:46
