Race Highlights:

Traditionally, local 5K road racing has been dominated by men in their teens and early twenties, and the annual Firecracker 5K has been no exception.  During four of the past five years, the race winner has been 21 or younger.  But on Saturday morning it was the veterans who delivered the noteworthy performances at the Blue Ridge Road Runners’ sixth annual Firecracker 5K in Gypsy Hill Park.  A total of 197 competitors finished the two-and-a-third laps that comprised the 3.1-mile race.

A soggy Saturday morning hardly dampened the spirits of local runners who showed in record numbers for the March Madness 5K. Despite steady rain throughout the morning, 64 total finishers—the most ever— completed the two-and-one-third laps of Gypsy Hill Park for the opening event of the spring and summer 5K race series hosted by the Blue Ridge Road Runners.
