Pagoda Pacers' Kris Kringle 5-miler on the northeast side of Reading, PA. A mix of roads and trails, with roads being probably 3/5ths of the surface.
Chugged along the best I could, having to walk most of the the uphills, but able to extend my stride a bit on the steeper downhills.
I was hoping to be about an hour plus or minus (depending on hills) and was. 556th place out of 600+, not fast enough for top three F65-69, who along with other top-3 placers won little Scandinavian style gnomes/elves as awards (so cute!)...the top two men and women overall won bigger trolls. Several gift baskets were raffled, and a pair of Southwest airline tickets (we didn't win any of the prizes), which are probably one of the big draws of this race.

2 PM
Note
This race has been run in the other direction in the past, with a fairly steep climb at the start instead of near the end. I'm glad we ran it (for the first time) in the counterclockwise direction.

Note
Another note (to add more info I forgot to include above).
Temp was in upper 30s (close to 40) with mostly cloudy skies and little breeze. Apparently last year it was at least 10 degrees cooler as folks were remarking how nice it was.
Slightly overdressed with a vest over one of my waffle shirts. Took off gloves and buff (over ears) while running along the Tulpehocken Cr/Union Canal towpath but added the buff as a sweatband on the final climb.
