Only 13 hardy souls braved the incessant rain accompanied by a moderate wind for the South Coast Running Club’s Prediction Run on the Coos Bay Boardwalk last Saturday.
In this unique event, participants predict how long it will take to complete a 5-mile run or 3-mile walk. Watches are not allowed.
Two runners tied for first place by finishing within four seconds of their predicted time. Joe Walker of North Bend and Tim Young of Coos Bay shared $65 in gift certificates for their efforts. John Gunther missed his prediction by nine seconds to earn third place and a $15 gift certificate.
The day’s fastest time was turned in by Lawrence Cheal, who finished the 5-mile run in 34:35. Karen Matson led the women in 38:15.
