From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.
“The best part of the race was the wonderful volunteers.”In the Sinnemahoning 50K, the runner found faint forest trails with friends and overcame a fall on a steep descent. Kind volunteer support helped them finish fifth in 6 hours 59 minutes 46 seconds.
