RACE RESULTS AND PICTURES ON FACEBOOK

The majority of the club's race results and pictures are on our Facebook page. It is much easier to post to FB, along with numerous pictures. Plus, everyone who is a member can post their own pictures and results. For our local events, I will continue to post them here. (Please note that sometimes the race results do not post correctly such as the 2011 Swamp Run. I apologize that they are a " jumbled up mess"
but after numerous attempts at trying to type them on individual lines, I finally gave up.)

If you are on FB but not on the club's FB page, go to Okefenokee Track Club and click "Like".
(I was not able to change the page to Okefenokee Track & Cycling Club
without starting over, but I was able to use our new logo.)

OTC Ladies Conquer 111th Boston Marathon


On April 16, 2007, Cheryl Monroe & Robin Smith participated in one of the worst weather situations for the Boston Marathon. The 26.2 mile course was flooded by the 24-hour rains that preceded the event. Though they bagged their feet & even changed shoes at the start, they were still pretty soaked. Despite the cold temps of 45-degrees, along with intermittent rain (after the start) & strong (50-mph) "in-your-face gusts," quoted by Robin, they endured to the end with no regrets. Cheryl completed her 2nd Boston with a time of 3 hrs. 56 min. 41 sec., the same exact time she finished when she ran Boston in 2000. Robin, close behind, finished her very 1st Boston Marathon with a time of 4:01:50. All of the members of the Okefenokee Track Club would like to congratulate you both for a very memorable Boston Marathon!
