G.A.C.   "That bunch of runners in Topsfield"

Race Results

Mother's Day Six Hour Race
Sunday May 8, 2005
Held at Bradley Palmer State Park, Topsfield, Mass.

 
Mother's Day Run/Walk Success


The 11th edition of the Topsfield 6 - Hour Run/ Walk for Breast Cancer took place once again.  The fundraiser is 
annually held at Bradley Palmer State Park and raises funds for The Hunt Breast Center.  The day was cool with 
light rain and wind but the 3 mile loop was in good shape and the runners and walkers enjoyed the event. $5,500 
has been raised through pledges and contributions to fight breast cancer.  Many thanks go out to the park officials 
and volunteers of Gil's Athletic Club, who host the event.  A plaque was presented to Vicki Blais, co-Race Director 
for 10 years of dedicated service to the event. She has turned over the reins to her daughter, Amy.

The run was won by Jim Miller of Essex Junction, Vermont, running 45 miles in the 6 hour time frame.  On the female 
side G.A.C. club member Lori Lebel of Danvers, MA ran 37 miles to take the victory.  Lori is training for Vermont City 
Marathon as well as the Vermont 100 Mile run, which benefits the Vermont Adaptive Sports Programs.

The walkers did not let the weather impede them; some completed the loop 5 times in preparation for a 3 day walk for 
breast cancer research.  

Contributions are still being accepted in any amount made out to the Hunt Breast Center or G.A.C.; 
mail to Gil's Grocery, 26 Main St., Topsfield, MA 01983.

Thank you for another great year.

Co-Race Directors:

Jim Gilford
Amy Blais
