Â
The 35th Annapolis 10 Miler
The temperature was a pleasant 68 degrees as August’s biggest racing event got underway at 7:45 a.m. alongside the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The race, which always sells out, had its usual enthusiastic crowd. The race is more than just elite racers competing on daunting hills with heat and humidity. It is a yearly pilgrimage for many runners of all paces to enjoy the hospitality of Annapolis.
Runners get to circle down past the dock and then charge over the Severn River Bridge. Racing all through the city, runners were well received by its citizens with many offering cooling sprinklers and lots of encouragement.
Back at the house, finishers were first greeted with cool, wet hand towels. Then they were treated to lots of watermelon, bananas, and bagels. Just past the massive sports expo and the Budweiser beer truck, The Rovers were already filling the area with great music. The interactive band played until 1:00 p.m. and many runners stayed around for the entire show. This year, the premium is a high-quality short sleeve technical running shirt with a zippered pocket as well as a pair of running socks.
Keith Matiskella, 38, won handily in 55:03. Last year's women's winner Kristin Blanck improved to 1:03:13 but settled for runner-up as Kaitlin Koplin, 26, ran a fine 1:02:16 to victory.
