Christmas in July 5K (Harrison Maine)

(Harrison ME) Hallmark Channel isn’t the only place Christmas is celebrated in July!

On the ninth of July, Main Street had a collection of costumed runners setting out from in front of the Grange for some morning competition in Harrison’s Christmas in July 5K.

Plenty of red and quite a bit of green showed up in many of the racers’ running attire.  On a hot, July morning those cold-weather costumes probably lost some of their “good-idea” status as the runner climbed Brickyard Hill Road!

Harrison resident, Ken Ross, was the easy winner of the sixty-five finishers with a time of 20:23.

The top eight finishers were:

1 Ken Ross (20:23),

2 Chris Surro (21:18),

3 Michael Clarke (21:34),

4 Eric Martin (21:39),

5 Keith Moss (21:47),

6 Peter Banach (22:47),

7 Brian Ladd (22:50).

An interesting age range in the top runners.  Ken Ross and Brian Ladd are in their 60s while Peter Banach is 11.
