2012 March 24 , Falmouth PAL 5K (Falmouth, MA) ... and it wasn't really a 5K (it's a few tenths long ... but who's counting?)

2012 November 11 , Barnstable 5K, The Musical - run at Barnstable High School (Cape Cod, Mass.) as a benefit for the high school's Musical Education program. Musicians were playing along the course, including a gorilla with a concertina at one mile marker, and also a great Irish band at the finish line. I am told these Irish musicians play every Sunday and Wednesday at O'Shea's Olde Inn in Dennis, Mass. I am also told the gorilla was really Pete Stringer. The course ran around the track and then out into the athletic fields, and finished with a lap around the parking lot. The overall winner, Mark Clifford, inadvertently took a wrong turn at one point, shortening his run by a short bit, but the consensus was that he would have still won the race even without this unintentional short cut. Pies were the awards for top three male and female. The pies were baked by race director Jane Hattemer-Stringer, who is seen with the gorilla in the last picture of the photo gallery. It was a nice day for running, not hot, and overcast until after the race was over, when the sun came out.
