Collingswood Book Festival 5K

Collingswood will host the 9th annual Collingswood Book Festival next Saturday, and today it kicked off the week long prelude with the 3rd annual Collingswood Book Festival 5K.  I ran it this morning and managed to win the whole thing, though once again I feel the need to add the disclaimer that there were only about thirty people in the entire race.


With a tiny turnout, it was a no frills race.  A mere two laps around Knights Park and some apples and Philly soft pretzels at the finish.  As the top overall finisher, I did snag the biggest trophy I've ever received in my life:


Stevie ran the race as well.  It was the first race of her life and she managed to snag third place in her age/gender group.  Congrats!
