2009 Oberlin Earth Day 5k run

It's like a sign of spring. The 5k Earth Day run in Oberlin. And what a beautiful day it was. It appeared that there were about 50 runners for the race. The overall winner was Brett Barkacs with a time of 19:25. Second overall: Jim Galloway with a time of 21:03. The first female runner to cross the line was Alexa Sharp with a time of 21:54, and second place women's was Marty Stuedle with a time of 23:16. Some photos from the day:


Runners take your mark, get set, go!


And they're off....

Brett Barkacs takes first.


Alexa Sharp across the line..



Proof that spring is here. The daffodils and magnolias are in full bloom.

Thanks for posting - the Rec Department did a great job with this, as always, and the weather was indeed beautiful.

Are there more photos from the race available anywhere?

Thanks!
