3rd Annual Central Maine Striders Fall Classic 10k

10/9/2022

The start of the 2022 Fall Classic 10k (photo by Alicia MacLeay).
On October 9th, runners and volunteers gathered at Waterville's Quarry Road Recreation Area for the 3rd annual Central Maine Striders Fall Classic 10k road race.  Beautiful fall colors graced the trees and frost covered the ground as runners checked in for the race on this cool Sunday morning.  

Before the start of the race, it appeared that the men's race had the potential for a speedy battle between Bar Harbor's Judson Cake, former Thomas College runner Harrison Mosher, and Messalonskee High runner Pierce Coughlin, with Striders Drew McCormick and Ron Peck hoping to stick with the pack.  For the women's race, Strider Heather Cable looked to be the favorite amongst the open runners, but the Master's Women division looked to be tight with one-third of all runners falling into this category.

In the end, Harrison Mosher took the crown with a time of 36:27, besting JudsonCake by 31 seconds.  However, Cake did earn the prize for the top Men's Master runner.  Heather Cable did indeed nab the overall woman's spot with a time of 42:18, nearly seven minutes ahead of the next fastest woman.  Strider Katherine Collins grabbed the award for the fastest Women's Master runner, with a time of 49:38.
​A special shout-out goes to Charlie Tauber of Houston, Texas, who planned his fall vacation to Maine around our race.  He told us that he had a few days off work, wanted to see some fall colors in Maine, and wanted to run a 10k while here.  Thankfully, he found our race on runningintheusa.com.

Thanks to all of the Striders and local community members who continue to make this race possible by volunteering and running it.

Another Quarry Road Summer Race Series has successfully wrapped up.  Due to Covid-19, the format was different this year -- runners had one week to run the coarse at any time that was convenient to them and then submit their results to the race director.

A big shout out goes to Patrick Guerette for organizing another successful summer series, despite the challenges that 2020 threw his way.

The final overall standings can be found by clicking here.
