Congratulations to Lucas Sieb and Emily Ryan, overall winners of the 4th Annual Dam-Bridge Run 10K. Masters winners were Jon Elmore and Madelyn Patton who repeated her 2007 masters win. Steve Rogers repeated as the male grandmaster and first time participant Donna Wittman was first in the female grandmasters category. Sieb and Ryan both set course records, and Sieb also set a new Alabama State record for 15 year old males.

Sherea Burns of Florence was the winner of the $50 Mid-Pack award and Darren Newberry of Decatur won the $200 pre-registration incentive award drawing. Cheryl Self won the door prize drawing, a free night's stay at the Marriott Hotel.

Although participation was down slightly, possibly due to the cold temperatures, there were many new faces. Once again there were many runners from outside the Shoals Area. In fact, the top trophy winners in the overall, masters, and grandmasters categories all travelled from outside the Shoals. Thanks to everyone who ran, especially those who came from out of town. We hope your experience here was a good one and that you will return again for the 2009 Dam-Bridge Run.

This race could not take place without the 30+ volunteers who gave of their time and efforts. A special thanks to the employees of SCA Tissue who manned the water stations on the course. And please remember our sponsors, listed in the right column. Please follow the links to their websites and show your appreciation by giving them your business whenever possible.

Mark your calendars now and plan to join us on November 21, 2009 for the 5th Annual Dam-Bridge Run 10,000 Meter Race.
