Results of the Run to the Rock 5k – August 29, 2010 – Chimney Rock, NC
At about 7:45 I lined up with 52 other runners on the main street in the town of Chimney Rock, awaiting the start of the Run to the Rock 5k. As we were milling around we saw the cyclists (doing the 7k Ride to the Rock) zip through the entrance to Chimney Rock Park on their way to the top (they started at 7:30).
We started promptly at 8:00 AM. A short, slightly downhill blast down main street followed by a right turn into the park and then it begins. One great big long hill. I was thrilled to shave a minute off my 2009 time and finish second in my age group.
Congratulations to Mark Ledyard as the first male and first overall. Congratulations to Ashley Strobel as the first female. Here are the results:

Wow, I just stumbled onto this website from a google search. Sounds like a very cool race! Is it going to happen in 2011? I see there are not too many runners and, from the picture, it seems like there couldn’t be too many for obvious safety reasons/space at the top. Wow, that sure makes me want to bring my canadian shoes for some tourist running in NC 🙂 Very cool!

Congrats on a nice time and finish Dennis!
This sure was tough, I didn’t think I would ever see the finish line. Hey wonder why they changed the AG to 10 yrs, starting with the 40-49?
I was also confused by the changes in some of the age groups to 10 years. I have no clue why they did it.
