The 35th Shiver by the River is complete!!!! We had 854 finishers throughout the series, with 171 runners completing the series. In looking at all of the months, our fastest runners for the series were Glen Heck (16:13 5k at the Dec. race); Brittney Miller (20:06 5k at the Dec. race); Brendan Shearn (33:20 10k at the Dec. race); and Brittney Miller (42:24 10k at the March race). We thank every runner and volunteer who joined us!
In March, we had 215 5k runners and 61 10k runners. Congratulations to the top 5k runners, Austin Strohl (17:20) and Ty Diaz-Cruz (20:16); and the top 10k runners, Jordan Slifka (36:50) and Brittney Miller (42:24).
Results of each race, plus the series results, can be found on pagodapacers.com. Awards which were not picked up at the banquet are at Fleet Feet West Reading (705 Penn Ave), and can be picked up any time during normal business hours, until April 10th.
Special thanks to Elaine & Alan Cooke and Steve Maguire who brought the Pacer trailer to the races. This is such a huge help!!!
As always, THANK YOU to all the Pacers who participated either by running, volunteering, or both! We sincerely appreciate all of our volunteers, whether you helped us at one race or every race; whether you have helped us for years, or this was the first time you volunteered for Shiver. Everyone was so willing to do whatever was needed to make this series another success! I don’t want to mention specific names for fear of forgetting someone, but volunteers, you know who you are and runners, you know who they are – you see so many of the same volunteers parking cars, at the water stop, at the same registration table, at the same intersection, or inside the farmhouse supplying soup and pretzels. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
