Baltimore Running Festival Results

Windy conditions at today's Baltimore Running Festival did not keep the Striders from posting some solid times.  In the 5k, Pat Wilkerson ran 20:27, good for first place in her age group. Jason Tripp, John Chall, Kara Waters, and Caroline Bauer all ran solid times in the half marathon.  Jason ran 1:19:40 (1st 35-39), Kara ran 1:21:40 (2nd Overall), John finished in 1:28:16 (1st 50-54), and Caroline crossed the line in 1:30:13 (3rd, 25-29 & 5th overall).  In the marathon, Mark Miller ran a superb 2:58:10 (5th, 45-49), well under the 3 hour time he was shooting for.  Finally, in the team relay, the Bullseye Running squad (consisting of Tom Williams, Phil Lang, Mark Buschman, Carlos Renjifo) took first overall, with a time of 2:28:59.  The Howard County Striders/Baltimore-Washington Athletic Team (Mark Gilmore, Dave Berardi, Steve Kartalia, and a last-minute substitute for Chris Chattin) were close behind, finishing in 2:34:19 (1st Masters).  The Run4Chocolate ladies fielded two teams this year, finishing 2nd and 3rd in the women's division with times of 3:08:29 and 3:09:29, respectively.

Some pictures from the race are posted HERE. A video of the Bullseye Running team finish is posted HERE.  Relay team splits are posted below.  The rest of the results are available HERE.
