We had a decent day for STARR”s annual “Predict Your Time” event on Saturday, October 18, held at the Potholes Park. Last year runners were challenged with an atmospheric river while this year a light drizzle didn’t seem to keep members away. This event is fun for a number of reasons. Everyone is on equal footing regardless of age, gender and ability. The goal is to predict your time over either the long course (9.4km) or the short course (5.3km) and complete the course without a watch or other timing devise. It means the feel of your pace is most important and the fastest doesn’t necessarily mean a win. There were ribbons and some swag as well as cookies and water. Steve and Rose came out to cheer on the runners. Of course, there was also a chance to socialize after the event.

Ten participants came out for the event, trying their hand at pacing. Everyone did amazing. It was great to have so many people come out. Congratulations to all of the runners. Thanks to Bri for the photos!
