Nearly 600 runners enjoyed a beautiful summer morning just right for racing. The best weather for the last four years brought out some real speedsters. The winning net time was 31:27 by Peter Sherry (33) of Great Falls, Virginia. The fastest woman at the race was Cathy Pugsley of Annandale with a net time of 36:16 - a 5:51 pace. Seventy five Leesburg residents ran, with David Bolton winning again with a net time of 35:01. Holly Kearl ran 46:30 to better the rest of the Leesburg ladies.

The race committee added five year age groups beginning at 35 and above which brought out good competition in all divisions. The YWCA and its sponsors distributed valuable. The awards ceremony highlighted the achievements of the older runners. Of particular interest was the 56:15 run by 79-year-old Walt Washburn of Vienna, beating everyone else in his age group. Wish we could all could be that talented!
