Athlete's take on a 5k / 10k Challenge


July 28th, 2007 marked the first annual Throw Down in the Dirt, Greenbelt 5k / 10k Challenge.
Athletes were greeted to sunny skies and heavy morning dew on the trails at the 8:30 start time. 5k and 10k participants started at the same time but at different areas on the course. Everyone was treated to a healthy dose of dirt, grass, prairie, roots, rocks, sand, water, mud, and even a water crossing for the 10k runners.
In the 5k event Dan Rediske and Seth Brown played cat and mouse during most of the event with Dan taking the win at 21:05 with Seth just 3 seconds behind. The womens 5k overall was also tightly contested with Ashley Ubbelohde pulling away taking the womens overall with a time of 28:55 while Kelli Huges and Michelle Daavettila finished 2nd and 3rd just 5 seconds apart.

In the 10k race Sarah Gall put the hammer down early and never looked back. Posting a 5k split that would have dominate the 5k event she ran away with the womens 10k with a time of 39:37. On them mens side Keith Mears put in a winning time of 40:32 with Rick Colton posting a 41:31 for second in the mens overall.
