Paint the Streets 5k

The inaugural Paint the Streets 5k started at the SAIC Huntsville office in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville on July 24, 2010, at 7:00 AM.  This race benefits the United Cerebral Palsy foundation, is in memory of Carlene Hall, and SAIC is the title sponsor.  The conditions were HOT and HUMID, even with a 7:00 AM start time.  This would be a fast course in cooler weather, but Saturday was a scorcher!

The female winner was Kathy Youngren of Huntsville in 19:48.  The masters winner was Donald Bowman of Madison in 17:58.  The female masters winner was Madelyn Patton of Madison in 22:38.  The overall results and the age group results are available at the Huntsville Track Club website.
