RACE DIRECTOR CLEARS UP RESULTS CONFUSION
Thanks to a comment on our Message Board, we were able
to notify the March Madness
Half-Marathon organizers about a possible error in their
women's results.
"Although the 26th running of the March Madness Half
Marathon was a great success
it was brought to my attention that someone ran under
another runner's bib number
which affected the top female results. We have corrected
this issue and new
results have been posted. The female winner is Michelle
Ralph from Gurnee. She
has been contacted and will be sent her award. The
Hillstriders were unaware of
this situation when the results were announced and we are
looking into ways to
assure this will not occur again."
Thank you for your understanding,
Michele Idstein, Race Director
