Bradford Valentine Race Report


On a relatively mild winter day (2/12/11), a handful of CRC runners took to the streets of Bradford, MA to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The Bradford Valentine Road Race featured two races run simultaneously: a 6k and a 5 miler. Runners could compete individually in either race and as a couple by entering a man in one race and a woman in the other.

In the 6k, Kaitlin Anelauskas and Nora Sullivan were the first two women to finish and were 3rd and 4th overall. In the 5 miler, Chad Carr and Brain Klein finished 3rd and 10th, followed by Rebecca Nisetich, Meredith Stanford, Kimberly Mikesh, and Liz Walker. Unfortunately in the open couples division team Sole Mates (Chad and Kaitlin) and team Hazardous Materials (Brian and Nora) came up short finishing 2nd and 3rd. Kimberly and her husband, Dan, finished in a tie for 2nd place in the husband/wife division – if only one of you had run a second faster… CRC plans to avenge both of these losses next year.

Almost all CRC runners won a half-pound box of chocolates and after the race everyone enjoyed a delicious brunch at Jayne Karolow’s parent’s house, who live a few blocks from the finish line.

Congratulations to everyone and thanks to Jayne and her parents!
