Last weekend, about a dozen Chelsea runners ages 7 years to adult, attempted the “Longest Run of Their Life.”
With the cancellation of this spring’s high school track season due to Covid 19, a number of Chelsea athletes decided to use this last weekend to complete the run. And one used it as a fundraiser for Faith in Action.
They spent the last two months training on their own, and many were successful. Not a group run, they completed different distances, paces, and start times to achieve their goal.
Epic Races donated some prizes, and the weather was ideal.
The following athletes completed the run:
- Marie Swager (age 7) 6 miles
- Gabe Muckle: 13.1 miles
- Hoyt Swager (age 10) 13.1 miles
- Karl Swager (age 11) 21.5 miles
Marathoners (26.2 Miles) in order of time finish:
- Will Scott – time of 2:58
- Jimmy Alford
- Jonas Norwood
- Peter Mourad (14 years old)
- Zeb Swager (14 years old)
- Leo Swager (13 years old)
- Nick Spruce (14 years old)
- Riley Thorburn
- Tim Muckle (26.3 miles)
