Manchester, CT Thursday, November 23, 2000 Another wonderful morning awaited 12,000 runners and walkers on Thanksgiving Day in Manchester, Connecticut. Thanksgiving brings out all kinds of people. Serious runners come from around the world and families come from up the street. Walkers flock to St. James church to wait their turn to tour the historic 4.748 mile course. Wheelchair participants flex their muscles as the 10:00am start approaches.
Hopefully, you had the chance to see the race unfold on Fox 61. The exciting men's finish saw Ireland's Mark Carroll edge Janko Bensa (21:50) of Yugoslavia in 21:49. On the women's side local favorite Amy Rudolph won for the fourth time with a time of 24:26. Both winners recently completed in the Olympics.
On the local scene the Silk City Striders were well represented as always. Here's the list of Silk City finishers. Please email me with any members that I may have missed.
