Seldovia’s End of Summer Mini Marathon Results

by Jenny Chissus

This was a little bit of an experiment – knowing that there are many runners looking for an opportunity to race in the beautiful city of Seldovia, we put together this 5K and 10K for Labor Day Weekend!   The course was the same as the 4th of July Salmon Shuffle, but backwards!  Many folks have commented how that creates a brand new race, as the hills and terrain are traveled in the opposite direction!

Thankfully, Jennifer Giles wanted her whole wedding party to run, so they made up the majority of the runners this year!  It was a great start to a new annual event, with beautiful weather and many cheerleaders!

Thanks to Chris and Liane Crosta and their family who marked the course, and staffed the monitors along the course!  Thank you Tobben Spurkland who brought his experience and professionalism to our event!

Here are the results!  Awards will be given at the community potluck and Chainsaw Carving Awards ceremony this afternoon – so if you are on the top three of these lists – please show up to claim your award!

Thank you for your interest in participating, and we will look forward to this becoming another great outdoor activity and event for Seldovia!
