The sun was out along the scenic course for the 137 men, women and children who completed their chosen runs (or walks) in the trio of Quilcene events staged Sept. 26.
The 5K event drew 41 finishers, 29 female and 12 male. The 10K event drew 51 finishers, 31 female and 20 male. The half marathon drew 45 finishers, 28 male and 17 female on the USATF certified and sanctioned course.
The annual runs were staged at Worthington Park. Proceeds from race fees support the Quilcene/Brinnon Dollars for Scholars fund and the “Count Me in for Quilcene” nonprofit organization.
Cameron Dorn, recently moved to Seattle from South Carolina, won the Quilcene Oyster Half-Marathon mens' division.
“It was a good wake-up,” said Dorn of this first visit to Quilcene. “We came out to see Olympic Peninsula scenery. I got the real story on those hills.”
Dorn, a recent finisher in a 106K race in Romania and a veteran of the Boston Marathon, said he prefers local races for the lack of crowds and wait time.
Ann Armstrong topped the half-marathon's female division in 1:42:51. Both Armstrong and Dorn won a $100 Jefferson Healthcare prize.
Don Young won the 10K run in 41:46, followed by Michael Cassella-Blackburn in 45:28 and Fuxia Stankus in 47:12.
Mark Hardzinski won the 5K in 25:01, followed by Briana Weller in 26:39.
