Chris Cross 10k Trail Run

Saturday, while some Trail Nerds were out at the Heartland 50 and 100 miler, other Trail Nerds were out at Clinton Lake getting in some 5k and 10k action. This was the 1st annual Chris Cross Trail race and was held in conjunction with the Chris Cross Cyclo Cross races immediately following the trail run. Michael Goodwin of the Kansas Trails Council was on hand to help out Cowtown Cycling and Multisport Marketing who hosted the event.
There were ~43 runners in the 5k and 10k combined and the weather was beautiful. At 29 degrees, it was a chilly fall morning, but race time temps in the upper 30s to lower 40s helped folks warm up as they pushed through the technical trails of Clinton Lake.
Dave Wakefield smoked through the rocky and hilly 10k course in 40 mins and 55 seconds while Brian Bumgardner made light work of the 5k course in just under 22 and a half minutes. Female winners, Nha-Trang Truang (5k), and Emily Horn (10k) made a strong showing as well. Lou Joline of the KC Track Club used this as a little training run and finished all smiles as usual.
Several other Trail Nerds took home hardware for wins in their age group.
