34th GMAA Archie Post 5 Miler

Burlington, VT, September 8, 2001

Results courtesy of the Green Mountain Athletic Association.

A new all-bike path, certified course and great weather greeted the largest turnout in years - 126 finishers. Many runners raved about the rolling path that headed through both woodlands and open countryside. The weather was a little warm for September - 73 degrees, but a 10mph South tailwind helped move runners up the first and last hills. A fast field this year included 8 runners under 29 minutes, with Marc Gilbertson winning in a fast time of 26:02. Sue McNamara topped the women's field in a time of 32:10. Both set a good bar for the inaugural course records. One time to note is 63 year old Donald Ardell of Tampa Florida who finished in a remarkable 31:57 - imagine how fast he was 40 years ago! Let's hope the turnout and weather is this good again next year.

Thanks to all volunteers - Bob and Monica Cayia, Daniel Graham, John Izzo, Dave Price, Russ Agne, Dave Jacobowitz, John Williams, Fred Rogers, Fred Kincaid, Dave Delibac, Phil Ades, Pat Mahoney, Derek Poirier, Tom Rhoads, Linda Everett, Karen Sperry, and Sherry Paquette for keeping the runners safe and hydrated and for running such a smooth registration and finish line.

Thanks also to the Ski Rack, Women's Source for Sports, Catamount Family Center, Paul Mazza's Farm Stand, and Chittenden Cider Mill for donated and/or discounted prizes and refreshments.
