HUNTINGTON BEACH, AUGUST 19 – SUNSET IN THE PARK:

From John Tiffin, “My son John & I ran the “Sunset in the Park” cross country event on August 19^th at Central Park West in Huntington Beach. The race was USAT&F sanctioned and covered grass, dirt, and pavement with some hills. We did the 4.8 mile course which followed a 2,8 mile race that started half an hour earlier. This was an enjoyable event with 125 runners in the 4.8 mile and 169 in the shorter race.” Results - 1. Sal Bautista 26:39 .. 37. John M. Tiffin 34:42 (1^st, 55/59) .. 46. John S. Tiffin 35:59 (3^rd, 18/23).

MANITOU SPRINGS, COLORADO, AUGUST 22 – PIKES PEAK MARATHON:

Steve von Dohlen/Paso Robles 5:52:28 (146th out of 801 finishers with a time of 3:52:42 for the ascent and 1:59:46 for the descent). . . “On August 22, I ran the Pikes Peak Marathon in Colorado which has truly earned its nickname as "America's Toughest Marathon!" It starts at the base of Pikes Peak at 6,295 feet and then climbs to the summit of 14,110’ in 13.32 miles. That's 7,815 feet of elevation gain at altitude, with an average grade of 11%. Then you turn around and run back to the bottom to complete the 26.2 mile round-trip. I had a fun time; the race was well-organized and tough! Check out the web site at www.pikespeakmarathon.org for more info. I did the marathon as part of a team that friends of ours back east put together -- "Team Triumph" – to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) in its fight against cancer. See their web site at www.teamtriumph.org to donate or for links to the LAF. To date we have raised over $7500 and still hope to reach our goal of $10,000. It's always great to do a special run like this with friends and even more so when it's for a cause like the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Thanks to those who donated.”
