5K Success

Winner, Pat Hayes

The 1st Annual Break the Cycle Race against Domestic Violence 5K Walk/Run was a huge success! We had 35 participants ages 9-77 and raised over $750 to start the San Luis Valley Break the Cycle Scholarship. While the course was challenging, we had 5 runners finish the race in under 30 minutes. Rio Grande County Judge, Pat Hayes, finished in 1st place with a time of 25:59. We had participants from South Fork, Wyoming, Kentucky, Arvada, Parker and many other places. After the race, I got to enjoy lunch with two wonderful women, Mrs. Colorado 2011, Janell Ames and Mrs. Colorado 2002, Emily Stark. Thank you to all the wonderful sponsors of the race and the wonderful participants. I look forward to seeing all of you again next year and hope that you all pass along how much you enjoyed the race and that we have even more participants for 2012. Looking forward to it!!!!
