Sporthill Spindleholes, a Eugene-based team, won the 32nd edition of the 67-mile Roseburg to Coos Bay Relay over the Coos Bay Wagon Road last Saturday.
The group finished in 7 hours, 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
Second place went to 2008 champion Start Slow and Taper, a South Coast team featuring Lawrence Cheal of North Bend, Doug Veysey of Myrtle Point, John Gunther of Coquille and brothers Aaron and Shawn Miller of Coos Bay, who finished in 8:13:49.
Atomic Fireball, a Roseburg-area women’s submaster team, set a division record, finishing third overall in 8:15.17, despite only having four runners (the team’s fifth member was stranded in Denver by a snowstorm).
Bad Company, another South Coast team, won the mixed open division, finishing seventh overall in 9:11:28. Team members included Katelyn Neis and the father-son combination of Robert and Brandon Lemerande, of Bandon, as well as Cora Wahl of Langlois and Wren Carter of Port Orford.
John Lucas of the Sporthill Spindleholes and Jill Pettibone of Atomic Fireball set three individual leg records. Glenn Peterson of Sporthill Spindleholes also set a record.
The 23-mile Laverne Park to Coos Bay Walk Relay was won by Team Platypus, a two-person mixed team from the Roseburg area, in 4:42:51. Walk ‘N Roll, including Carol Bender, Mary Paczesniak and Bonnie Smith of Coos Bay and Shannon Smith of North Bend was the top women’s team.
The Director’s Award, presented by race directors Pete Dawson and Christie Kindred to the team that comes closest to its predicted time, went to the South Coast team Sweet Cheeks. Team members Amy Brown of Langlois and Sabrina Belletti, Jen Wells, Jeanne Lemerande and Brianna Quathrocci of Bandon, combined to finish one second off the predicted time of 9:54.
A total of 27 run teams and four walk teams helped to raise more than $8,000 for Camp Millenium, a summer camp for children living with cancer. More donations are expected to increase that total.
The event was jointly sponsored by the South Coast Running Club and volunteers from Camp Millenium.
