This race use to be the same weekend as the Rock To Pier but now has been moved back a month to August. This date works better because so many from Kern County go to the R2P. Plus if they keep this date, it is right before school starts which means more people are likely to be in town.

River Walk was crowded and before 7pm the parking lot was full. This had more to do with the wedding being held there then the race. Adding to the early crowd was the inaccurate race start times on the BTC website:

"2k fun run at 7:30 pm around the park and the 5k & 10k on the bike path at 8:00 pm." Turns out that this information was on the BPD website too.

So many showed up super early for a race that often does not start on time. With the heat we had, I am glad the race started at a little after 8:30pm. By race time, the temperature had dropped and there was a nice breeze. The breeze turned into a good wind that was in our faces on the way back to River Walk.

After the National Anthem, they held the 2k run for the kids which seemed to have fewer runners then in the past. Speaking of numbers, I hear there were 500 to 600 in the 5k/10k race. This large group assembled on the bike path to head east on the out and back course.

Just before the race, a good breeze started and the police helicopters flew over head to make some very interesting shadow play. Then a few minutes after 830pm the race started with a mad rush into the darkness. Heading east was nice because the moon was on our right and quite bright plus many of the businesses we went by were lite as well.

As I was heading out, I soon saw the BPD motorcyle heading my way with it's lights flashing and one runner following it closely. CSUB's Eddy Lee was leading the way and looked fast. The image of him running fast in the ligh and shadows along with the police lights was one I wish I had a camera to capture but mine shoot poorly in the dark.

Lee was followed by his team mate Ryan Lucker and then a stream of other runners. In the end Lee went under 156 minutes for the first time with a posting of 15:59. Lucker 16:21 for second and CSUB's Lina Nunez was the first women. Lucker and Lee are doing competing for CSUB but have plans to continue their running careers at a high level in the future.

In the 10k, Stockdale's Cameron Miller and David Bacus were running stride for stride with their motorcycle escort when they passed me with less then 2 miles to go. In the end, David took the win over the junior to be Mustang. Miller was the only local D1 athlete to qualify for last year's state cross country meet.

On the women's side, former CSUB harrier Erica Silva won the 10k in a time of 42:55.
