Two hundred and seventy-one runners in the 10K race which began in front of Walpole High School and finished on the track behind the school. Course is a challenging one with several small steep and moderate hills throughout the first five miles. The last 1.2 miles is pretty much up hill from the center of Walpole until you enter the gate of the track. The weather was perfect for September with sun a temperature of 68, low humidity and a northerly breeze. Personally I had a good workout hopefully leading into a good half marathon this coming weekend. I was coming off two very hard workouts in the previous four days and wasn't expecting a PR but I wasn't disappointed with my time. A 6:58 pace for the 10K and just about a 6:50 pace for the middle four miles. Great food, drink and raffle prizes following the race. Awards and times were quickly done for both the 10K and 5K race.
