Emma Peel was the top women’s finisher.
RUN: Event is a
Kiwanis fundraiser
for outreach programs
Continued from page 1
Scalfone, of Bend, ran
most of the race with second-
place finisher Dennis Brands,
but when they got to the base
of Hoodoo, they wished each
other well and Scalfone ulti-
mately prevailed in 1:34:20 to
1:39:42 for Brands.
“We ran together from
about the five-mile mark, but
from the aid station before
the climb to the top we just
wished each other good luck
and headed toward the sum-
mit,” said Scalfone. “Things
worked out great though
because my Cascade Lakes
Relay team was short a man,
but Dennis agreed to join our
team, so that’s awesome!”
Third place overall went
to Nathaniel Gunderson in
1:43:25.
The women’s winner
looked quite chipper after the
race as she walked back down
the hill to join her mother in
her ascent. In her first half-
marathon, Emma Peel did
not expect to win, but she led
from start to finish, defeating
last year’s champion, Bryn
Singleton of Sisters, by just
over three minutes with a time
of 2:09:36. Singleton clocked
2:12:40 and third place went
to Kathy Fecteau in 2:18:20.
“This was my first half-
marathon, and it was really
fun but really tough and the
last two miles just murdered
me,” she said. After her win,
Peel walked back down the
mountain to meet her mother,
Anne, and walked back up to
the finish with her.
The victors each went
home with a season pass at
Hoodoo in reward for their
winning efforts.
L a u r e n Wi s n i e w s k i
and Sarah Courtney from
Corvallis took the challenge
in stride, smiling brightly on
their way back down the hill
to the post-race festivities.
“The sand was surprising,
and we had to dodge some
motocrossers and ATVs,
which kicked up a bunch of
sand, but you can’t beat the
beauty of this course. It was
great and we plan to come
back,” said Wisnewski.
Race director Suzy
Ramsay and the many volun-
teers from the Kiwanis Club
of Sisters got praise from run-
ner after runner for the good
care the participants received
both during and after the race.
The Camp Sherman Hasty
Team (Search and Rescue)
helped sweep the course and
provide aid to runners.
Cold drinks and water-
melon provided welcome
refreshment at the top and a
full meal of barbecue beef
sandwiches and all the fixings
greeted runners in the shade of
Hoodoo Lodge, which helped
runners replenish energy spent
on the course.
Proceeds from the race go
to the many charitable proj-
ects supported by the Sisters
Kiwanis, including the Food
Bank and scholarships for
graduating seniors from
Sisters High School.
