RACE RESULTS:

 

Bloody Run 10K Run & Bloody Run 5K Walk/Run Results

 

We had 61 applicants for the race, with 2 no-shows, for a total of 59 racers. We have 7 unaccounted for runners/walkers. They must have taken their results ticket home with them. The results pages are as complete as we could make them.

 

The overall Men’s 10K winner was Rande Brown, a 38 year old from Bedford. He completed the race in 43 minutes, 15 seconds. In second place was Jonathan Erb, a 32 year old from Fairplay, MD, with a time of 43 minutes, 41 seconds.

 

The overall winner of the Men’s 5K was 24 year old Paul Myers from Boyertown, PA, with a time of 17 minutes, 50 seconds. Coming in second was Daniel Parks, 28 years old, from Bedford, with a time of 20 minutes, 41 seconds.

 

There was almost a tie for 1st place in the Women’s 10K overall between Kari Brown, 34, from Bedford, and Lisa Fleming, 46, also of Bedford. Their time was 48 minutes, 29 seconds, but Kari was in front by a shoulder. Coming in behind them was Jennifer Erb, 38, from Fairplay, MD, with a time of 56 minutes, 12 seconds.

 

The overall winner of the Women’s 5K was Lisa G. Hillegas, a 48 year old from Schellsburg. She completed the race in 25 minutes, 29 seconds. In second place was Carol Devine, 50, from Bedford, with a time of 34 minutes, 47 seconds.

 

Jacob Cherry, 9, came in 1st in the 12 and under boys’ category, and his sister Madison, 8, came in 1st in the girls’ 12 and under category. Unfortunately, we do not have a record of their times at this date. To round out the family’s first place medals, their mom, Lindsay, finished 1st in the Women’s 5K 30-34 category with a time of 39 minutes, 17 seconds. The family is from Arnold, MD.

 

Rande Brown remembers about the race:
The first annual Bloody Run 10K was a great race run on a fun course.
Beginning at the Juniata Woolen Mill on Lutzville Road, runners followed a historic, and I should say challenging, Indian trail eventually leading to the finish in Everett. For me it was a special event on several layers. For one, it was my first 10K distance race (translated 6.2 miles). I have run races shorter and farther but this distance was new to me. Second, Everett is my father's hometown, a place I visited often when I was young and my grandparents were still alive. And finally, I finished first male overall and my wife Kari was first female. It was pretty special for us to both do well and to walk away together with matching 1st Place trophies. The course was appealing in the hilly challenge it presented and the competition was solid. The second place finisher, Jonathan Erb, and I traded places a few times throughout the event and I had to work hard to maintain my lead at the end. Similarly, Kari fought hard to stay ahead of Lisa Fleming, a strong and talented local runner. Our daughters, ages 5 and 7, were waiting for us at the finish line amid the cheering crowd and race volunteers that helped to conduct such a nice event. Following the awards ceremony, my family and I (on sore but happy legs) joined in with the Heritage Alliance Wagon Walk across the levee that separates a fine little town from an old and meandering river. Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers for a great day. See you next year!

HISTORIANS ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR BLOODY RUN RENDEZVOUS

 

 

   The Bedford County Heritage Alliance which includes the Bedford County Historical Society, the Bloody Run Historical Society and the Juniata Woolen Mill, in cooperation with the Everett Area Better Business Association announces plans for the Bloody Run Rendezvous to be held on June 21st to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the French and Indian War and our "becoming Pennsylvanians."
 
    Kicking off the June 2lst event will be a 10K and 5K Run and a 5K competitive Walk.   The l0K Run will follow a historic Indian trail beginning at the Juniata Woolen Mill on the Lutzville Road and ending at the West Providence Township Building on E. 5th Avenue in Everett.  The 5K Run and 5 K Walks will begin at the Township Building.  The course is measured and will be marked and officiated by an official timer.  Races begin at 7:30 a.m.
 
    This Race/Walk event is termed the First Annual and is chaired by Stewart Hickey and Glenden Casteel.  Adult entry fee is $l5 until June l3th and $20 day of race.  Fee is $l0 under age l8 and $5 under age l2.  The race is divided into age groups with prizes three deep, male and female, and top male and female overall.  Registration forms are now available at the Bedford County Historical Society (Pioneer) at 242 E. John St. in Bedford, at Linda's Lunchbox on Foundry St. behind the Everett post office and from Stewart Hickey in Hyndman. Check here for a registration form.

   For more information, call the Bedford County Historical Society at 623-20ll.  T-shirts will feature the Indian logo designed by Wayne Hyde for this event shown above. 

 

 

 
AND FOLLOWING THE RACES......

   
    The emphasis turns from competitive running / walking to walking behind a Conestoga Wagon and, hopefully, other wagons, just as the pioneer families did when they traveled the Forbes Road to Fort Pitt, now Pittsburgh.  The one mile walk is being firmed up now and details will be announced in weeks to come.  It's non-competitive, family-oriented; pioneer and Indian costumes are welcome but not required, and there is no cost involved to participate.  The committee feels it is a wonderful opportunity for children to actually LIVE history. 
   
    The Bloody Run Rendezvous will be held at the Everett American Legion Home on 4th Avenue, a block east of Sleighter's Furniture Store.  There will be period craft demonstrators, games for children, a chicken bar-b-q, period music and dancing, and historic lectures as well as Indian events.  A full schedule will be forthcoming.   Persons interested in participating with French and Indian period demonstrations can contact Gillian Leach at 623-20ll for more details.
 
    The Rendezvous Committee stresses this is not just for Everett people, it is one of a series of countywide events to commemorate the 250th anniversary, and all of Bedford County is encouraged to participate.  Fourteen counties along the Forbes Road will be participating in similar activities.   Everett has chosen to highlight the fact that the Forbes Road runs right through the town.
