On
Saturday, November 10, 2001 the very first Are You Nuts? Trail Race at Lake Sammamish
State Park was held. The clear and sunny skies made it a perfect day for
racing. Participants lined up at the start not knowing exactly what to expect - some
were quite nervous as they had never run a trail race before. But it was all smiles
as they crossed the finish line of the slightly less than 8k course.Thanks to Red Bull
for providing the "pre-race pep", and Talking Rain for re-hydrating the
participants at the finish. Also, thanks to Clif Bar, Performance Bikes, and Isis
Sportswear for Women.
There were two categories: male and female. The top three in each category
received prizes. The first place prizes of $100 went to David Martin and Amy
Chamberlain. The second place prizes of $50 went to Ryan Ervin and Erin Kelley.
The third place prizes of a free Are You Nuts? race entry went to Machot Lat and
Gillian Woodward. Also, a coolmax running shirt from Isis Sportswear for Women was
awarded to the participant who travelled the farthest for the race, which was Amy
Chamberlain from San Fransisco, CA.
The race results are as follows:
