Sunny and warm was the formula for first-time winners in the 32nd Annual Kenai Peninsula Run For Women contested through the city streets of Kenai on Saturday.
Mallory Millay lead the field in the 5-kilometer event, the first across the finish line in a leisurely 25:26 pulling away midway through with some pacing help by under 17 male co-runners. Angela Head finished second with a time of 26:12 and Teresa Lawless clocked-in at 26:44.
In the 10-kilometer event, Jenny Rutledge of Seward posted the fastest time for a female competitor finishing in 51:36. Megan Murphy finished second at 52:27; Nicole Dixon, third at 56:58.
The fastest 10K time was recorded by 11-year-old Samuel Anders of Kenai, racing in the 17-under male unofficial division. Anders, who has raced in the Run for Women for years, clocked a 50:19.
The Kenai Peninsula Run For Women is a fundraiser, benefit with proceeds to the Lee Shore Center in Kenai. The race has been run in Kenai since 1987.
