Fairhaven 15K

Sunday’s Fairhaven 15K race in this funky historic town near Bellingham proved to be more than a just an interesting road trip for a small group of VFAC’ers. It was more like the Fairdinkum 15K for Katherine Moore, as she ran away with the women’s title by almost 5 minutes in a very good 58:01. (See the accompanying story in the Bellingham Herald). Katherine is on a roll with with 1st, 2nd, and 1st overall female finishes in her last 3 races, over the past month. Chris Brandt also ran very well to place 8th overall and 2nd 35-39 with a time of 56:13. Also amongst the 596 finishers were Walter Kwan, who was 4th in the 50-54 and Andrew Kamara. Natalie Closs was entered, and off recent workouts was certainly ready to produce a good one, but unfortunately the plantar problems she has been hobbled by this year returned just 3 days before the race, so she was relegated to support status. From all accounts a race (and nearby pubs!) well worth the trip stateside.
