Highest Participation Ever for Chatfield College’s 5K Nun Run
More than 100 runners and walkers ventured to Chatfield College in St. Martin to participate in the college’s annual 5K Run/Walk on July 22nd.
“What a great race this year, we had the highest registration ever! We decided to rename the race the Nun Run 5k to play off our Ursuline heritage, and we also thought it was pretty catchy! We got a lot of
positive feedback, so we hope to keep making the race better and better every year,” said Race Coordinator Brianna Houchens.
Trophies were awarded to the overall first place female and male runner and female and male walker.
Will Sacay, who was visiting from Shoreview, MN, took first place for the male runners.
“I really loved the course,” said Sacay. “It was very hot and humid and I would love to come back when it was a little cooler! I will for sure be back next year.
What a great community!”
Sophia Leto, a junior at Western Brown High School, captured first place for the female runners.
“The race itself was a blast and the course was very pretty, but for me, running the race was not only a time for me to focus and get some good training, but it was also a time to decompress,” said Leto.
For the second consecutive year, Gary Exaver, of Sardinia, took first place for the male walkers, while Janet Sandlin, of Fayetteville, finished first in the female walkers division.
