Team RUNColumbus enjoyed near-ideal trail-running conditions Sunday at The Hoot Half & 10K at the Rocks & Roots Trail, presented by Fleet Feet Racing.
September delivered a welcome surprise: unusually cool temperatures, low humidity and mostly dry terrain. The result was a great morning to run, race and experience the trails.
Team RUNColumbus had a strong showing across both distances, including several teammates taking on their first trail race. They handled the new terrain beautifully and added another shared experience to a season already full of them.
Congratulations to Team RUNColumbus age group winners Alli, Barb, Fred and Noemi.
A special thank you also goes to Team Members Sam and Hailey, who captured photos throughout the morning.
