Fifth Third River Bank Run 2008 Race Results

Fifth Third River Banks Run 2008 Grand Rapids, Michigan completes its 31st run. It is my understanding so far that an American has won the 25k with a possible world record time. New World Record holders receive an additional $5000 dollars, these divisions cover, 25k mens and womens and 25k wheelchair division male and female.

The Fifth Third River Bank Run in Grand Rapids, Michigan is the largest 25k road race in the United States and usually brings in some of the worlds top runners. This year, however, many of the elite runners had to pull out due to the upcoming Olympics.

Results are not in yet for the Fifth Third River Bank Run 2008 race in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Results will be posted as soon as they come in.

Update:

2008 Olympian Brian Sell wins River Bank Run; Caroline Chepkorir wins women’s division.

This is the third win for Brian at the Fifth Third River Bank Run. Brian Sell’s time was 1 hour, 15 minutes and 8 seconds. Congrats Brian!

Caroline Chepkorir ’s race time was 1 hour, 29 minutes and 34 seconds. This is Caroline first 25k event she has ever run. Congrats goes to Caroline.

Spring Time Blooms

Spring time is so busy, especially after a long slow winter. So much to do indoors and out. With the sun finally finding its way back to us, we now see all the work indoors and out that needs doing. Even our family dog had some extra grooming that needed to be taken care of. Poor thing!

I know it has been a while since I last posted but the time has just zoomed by.

Now all the spring and summer events are upon us. We have not only a lot of work at home to do but the outdoor fun is really starting to begin.  There is barely time in a day for sleep.

Now all of our favorite ice cream shops have opened for business  and the Harbor Front is ready for its visitors. What to do in our spare time? Take care of house chores or hang out in Grand Haven and remember why we love living here. I vote for Grand Haven.
