Coal Creek Cross Country Challenge 2010

by Bruce Kirschner

The eleventh anniversary Coal Creek X-C Challenge on October 10 (that's right, 10/10/10) attracted 108 participants despite temperatures in the 40s and overcast skies. But once again it was perfect conditions for true cross country running.

Tommy Manning, last year's overall winner from Colorado Springs, led the field with a 31:55 finish. Fleet Feet's James Johnson finished second place in 32:24. Nick Cady was third place finisher in 33:40.

In the women's field, Rachel Gioscia-Ryan was first woman finisher in 35:00. Sara Tarkington finished second. Amanda Scott was third woman overall in 36:54.

A hearty thanks to all the volunteers who really made this event possible. Rosalia Murch, Connie Ahrnsbrak, Amy Lease, and Scott McFarlane did a fine job with registration. Cameron Menezes served in fine form as the pace biker. Joe Baird, Amy Lease, Janet Lowe, Ken Simons, and Dave Swanson, handily managed the 2-chute finish line. Jim Price served in his legacy role as finish line timer extraordinaire. Tom Chambers took good care of scoring duties and the racewalker turnaround. Tom Navarro made his San Luis hay bales available with Dave Swanson and Gale Meuret transporting them to the race site. Gale also provided timing splits at the 1 mile point and marshaled the ditch at the top of the steep hill. Rich Fitzpatrick served as hill swath marshal. Rob Cassady was Empire Road crossing flagger. Alfie Pena was Coal Creek crossing monitor, and Pete Wolfe the barbed wire fence crossing guard. Keely and Mitch Menezes managed the water stop at the turnaround point. Brent and Theresa Jockers appeared, respectively, as pre-Halloween gorilla and witch, to confound everyone. Amy Lease handled all the post-race refreshments.

Also a hearty thanks to our commercial race sponsors and prize drawing donors: Doug Christie at Boulder Beer for providing the pony keg for participants and donating a case of beer each for the top male and female finishers; Lily Johnson of Boulder's Fleet Feet Sports for gift bags; Runner's Roost Louisville for goody bags; Garrett McCarthy of the Old Louisville Inn for free half pint coupons and a gratis dinner; the Arvada Great Harvest Bakery for all the baked goods and the Blue Parrot Restaurant for two $15 gift certificates.
