Alexandria Running Festival 5k provides fast times!





At the Alexandria Running Festival 5k, the first four NRRL runners across the line were also in the top-10 of the overall field of almost 350 runners.  DC Running Coach finished 1st in the team standings, with Kinetic Fitness not far behind in 2nd place.  Athletes Without Limits was 3rd, with Evolution in 4th and Potomac River Running in 5th.  These are also the standings after three races, with Capital Alumni Network tied for 2nd.  Evolution is the only team yet to take their bye week.

In the men's race, Ben Mitchell edged out Diaa Nour for the top two spots, while Brandon Hirsch took 3rd place among NRRL runners.  After 3 races, Memo Saenz of Evolution is the only runner having done all 3 races and moved into the top spot in the individual rankings with some impressive finishes.

Faith Korbel was the top female NRRL runner, giving DC Running Coach, LLC the 1st place finishers in both the male and female races.  Kinetic Fitness brought the next two runners in on the female side, Sarah Todd and Madelynne Manansala.  Once again, after 3 races, Evolution has the only female runner who has completed all of them, Elissa Sosland, who sits atop the individual rankings.

The updated team and individual results are on the website.

The next event in the 10-race schedule is the Father's Day 8k Georgetown, which is also the first twilight race in the 2012 season.  NRRL runners receive a discount on registration.

Hope to see you at the start line!
