Weekend Results

Each fall, the runners of Huntsville flock to downtown to run the fastest 5km course in town at Spooktacular 5km.  The local elite refer to it as the "City Championships" in a joking manner, but outside of the many colorful costumes, people take it fairly serious.

This year it was Brad Schroeder, fresh off of his fast time at the Army 10-miler, who emerged on top.  Paced through the first two miles by fellow team mate Brandon York, Brad posted a 15:56. which was his best time in the last seven years since college.  Andrew Hodges ran the exact same time as 2012 with a blazing fast 16:18 and took 2nd.

After some confusion on the scoring (some of the timing chips were not working correctly), Jill Hadley was rightfully crowned the overall female winner in 19:22, just a week away from her fast half marathon finish.  Kathy Youngren was just steps behind Jill with a 19:30, earning her 2nd female overall and Julia Clark was third fastest female.
