Winner of the 5K Run was Tyler Shaver from Chicago at a time of 20:45.  He said he came to Anamoose because he heard about our moose wedding in the Chicago paper, but I think he came to see Whitney Buchholz, Bismarck, who won the woman’s 5K.  Whitney’s mother, Tami, took 2nd place, & sister, Sidney, took 3rd place.  Her grandparents, Dorothy & Vernon Kesler, took part in the 5K walk.

Winners of the 1 mile run were:  Men-Clay Bachmeier, Fargo; Women-Mackenna Bachmeier, Fargo

All participants & helpers got a bright yellow t-shirt (Tyler has his on) that was designed by Pam Heim, organizer of the event.  Proceeds from the run go to the Anamoose Fire Dept.
