Fitness Competition Results

Tadd Morris, age 48, who after coming 2^nd overall in the 10K, out-planked competitors with a 10 minute plank to be crowned Mr Fitness. Miss Fitness,  Margaret Powers, also ran a 10K (3^rd overall) in addition to out-planking her fellow competitors with a 6 minute plank. Siblings Abby, 10, and Wyatt Rodgers, 12, won Miss and Mr Fitness Junior, and also placed 1^st in their age groups for 5k and 10k, respectively. Special mention goes to Ethan Lindblad, 8, who after completing 10k in 1:22:01 went head-to-head and bested Wyatt in a nail-bitingly exciting 7 minute plank-off but was narrowly edged out of 1st thanks to Wyatt’s incredible 57 box jumps.
