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.)

26th annual Sunshine Festival 5K-St. Simons Island

Once again, a large group of Okefenokee Track & Cycling Club members and other locals raced in the Sunshine Festival 5K on July 3rd. This is a favorite for many of us! A flat course and exceptionally cooler weather brought out over 400 participants to the 5K starting line. Hosted by the Golden Isles Track Club, a traditionally hot and muggy day was replaced by cool sea breezes and moderate temperatures. Overall winners were Peyton Hoyle from Thomaston, with a time of 15:49. From Savannah, Michelle LaFleur captured the women's title with a time of 17:48.
