June has been a busy month for running events and group activities. Here are a few of the highlights:
On
Thursday, June 5 at Marymoor Park in Redmond we had our first official LSRC pacing event. All our pacers (
Joy, Daniel, Doug and
Nidhi) led their respective pace groups to on-time finishes. Thanks to Champs Sports for a great run and an enjoyable evening!

It was a hot one: On Saturday, June 7 at the Lake Tye Challenge in Monroe, Daniel Bannon and Skye Pazuchanics ran amazing races with help and support from Shawn P. Skye took first place honors in the women’s 6-hour race, while Daniel took second place in the men’s 6-hour race. Many thanks to the good people who put on this unique ultramarathon event as a fundraiser for Wild Sky Community Trails Association.

(Meanwhile, in a parallel universe…)
Also on June 7, it was another 90°F-day at the Yakima Mile (but we'll take 90°, over the 101° that was 2024). Max Jensen was 1st Grandmaster (overall 60+ winner) and Jason Hect and Piper were 5th in the Dog Mile. Trevor Jex ran a PR, and Pamela Hect was strong in her first road mile! Mike Williamson, Matthew Williamson, Michael Arlt, Zach Fung, and Joy Chan all ran solid efforts. Congratulations to all our finishers!

And finally, on Wednesday, June 18 we had an LSRC showing on the track at All Comers. Many of us participated in what we later learned was the final Jogger’s Mile (no watch allowed, predict your time for the win) – an event we hope to see return at some point in the future. Excellent participation in the 400, 800, 1500 and 5K throughout the night, and a captivating 4x400 relay with Arthur Lovekin, Mike Williamson, Zhenya Ross and Zach Fung for an awe-inspiring sub-5 min 1600m. Thanks to CNW for putting on another great meet.
