Whether facing competition, getting back to Lisbon, prepping for cross country or seeing old friends, racers in the Sauerkraut Days 5K were happy to be back on the road after the derecho cancelled the race a year ago. More than 80 people covered the course through the streets of Lisbon Saturday, Aug. 7.
The 2019 champion Ean Caskey took top honors again this year, winning in 15:54. Next was Chris Legore, a previous champion now living in Marion, with a time of 16:40. He was followed by Noah Keller, 17:32, Seth Cheney and Ryan Clevenger.
“This is definitely different from training on your own, running on your own,” Caskey said. “It’s nice to get back.”
Beth Mallon was the first in the women’s division. She was followed by her sister Becca Mallon. They ran together much of the race, though Beth pulled away in the end to finish in 19:49, 7 second ahead of Becca.
The top men’s and women’s finishers each received a $100 prize.
“About halfway through the race that was my goal,” Beth said with a smile.
“She’s in grad school, so it was important to her to fund her education,” added Becca.
Caskey did a few virtual races last year, and found them to be much less enjoyable than being on the road with others. He said there’s a lot more competition now because people have been away from racing and because many races that were cancelled in 2020 didn’t return this summer.
“It’s nice to have good size races again,” he said.
Caskey’s been training pretty hard the past five or six years. He’s in a 12-hour race in Rockford, Ill. this weekend and plans a 24-hour race in Las Vegas in November.
The day was humid, but the temperatures were manageable.
“Not bad for this time of year,” Dean Mallie said of being on the course. “Actually, pretty good compared to a lot of years that we’ve had.”
Mallie is limiting his outing this year, but is aiming for more competitions next.
Retired physical education teacher Christine Wiskus, tops among walkers, says this is her one race of the year.
“This is hometown,” she said. “This is for fun — to see all the people you haven’t seen for years and years.
“It’s good to be back – to have everyone back in town.”
