The 2009 Keota Fun Run
celebrated 125 Years for the Keota Fire Department and 25 Years of the Keota Fun Run. Cool mist dominated the weather as 117 runners finished the race for the mile, 5K, and 10K combined. Nathan Hopp set yet another Keota Fun Run Record in the 5K with a 16:13 time and Sofia Chmaruk dominated the 5K female race for the 2nd year in a row with a 20:47.
Overall winners in the 1 mile race were Logan Sieren for the boys (8:36) and Rachel Wonderlich (7:43) for the girls. 10K overall winners were Mark Thompson for the men (38:14) and Lorrie Copper (51:42). In addition to the 5K record, Nathan Hopp also owns the top two 10K times for the Keota Fun Run.
A day of Celebration, Inspiration, and Remembering @ the 25th Keota Fun Run
A team of 25 members of Kathy Ewald's family with "transplant team" on the back of their shirts walked in celebration of Kathy's lung transplant. Kathy finished #26 in the 1 mile, which coincidently happened to be the date of her transplant surgery. The Keota Fun Run presented her with the #26 stick used in the race to record her results.
Race director, Craig McClenahan also shared the story behind the JACE RACE being held in New Sharon today and the young boy, Jace Carrico, who bravely fought a cancerous brain tumor for over half of his 9 years before passing away in August of 2008. At last count, the Jace Race had over 420 pre-registered runners for their first annual Jace Race. A free-will donation was taken at the Keota Fun Run for the Jace Foundation.
Charles "Chick" Lyle finished what he claims will be his final Keota Fun Run. Chick and the Lyle family have a rich tradition of running and track excellence in the Keota Community. Chick is 84 years young and race director, Craig McClenahan says, "I'll believe it is his last 5K after next year's race is complete and he's cheering instead of being cheered on. Anyway you look at it, Chick has been an inspiration to all of us and he will continue to inspire long after he has run his last race."
