We could not have asked for a more perfect morning to hold our first Palmetto Pacers Running Club Race. The morning started off with a cool fog hanging over the starting line in Hampton Hall. With just over 75 runners the race kicked off with an on-time start as the siren blasted the runners out onto the fast and flat 5k course.
The cool morning was perfect for all the runners, and a good majority of them were able to set new personal best times!!!
The entire crowd cheered on the runners as they finished at the Hampton Hall Club house where the runners enjoyed food, refreshments and music.
The course record was set with an amazing time of 16:24 by Brian Knapp of Hilton Head Island, SC. The overall winner won a pair of Kaenon Sunglasses provided by Michael R. Harris, O.D. and each of the top 3 male and female runners took home a Pumpkin and a Palmetto Pacers Pumpkin Chaser embroidered Bandanna. Top three in each age group also took home a Palmetto Pacers Pumpkin Chaser embroidered Bandanna.
We were extremely pleased with the final outcome of our first event, and look forward to host many more races in the near future!!!
A huge thank you to everyone to helped put the race together, volunteered, sponsored and ran in the event. We could not have done it without your help!!!
