Brokeman’s 3rd Annual Dayton Run
The Brokeman’s Endurance Run was August 26, 2018 at Eastwood MetroPark and included options of 5, 10, 15 or 20 mile events, as well as a Half or Full Marathon.
Race day packet pick up was 6:15 am to 6:55 am, prior to the race start. All races started together at 7:00 am.
Participants ran “loops”, consisting of a 5 mile out and back along a mostly shaded bike path, until completing the desired race distance.
After a long brutal run, I finished my 10th Marathon in a time of 4:46:52, for 4th place overall (out of 7).
I have completed all three Brokeman’s Dayton events. In 2016, and 2017 this race was the Dayton 20/20 and included a 20k or 20 mile run.
The inaugural Brokeman’s Dayton event in 2016 also included a Half Marathon option, which I ran that year to qualify for the Half Fanatics.
In 2017 I ran the 20 miler, as my final long run for the Grand Lake Marathon a month later.
This year the event added more distance options, including a Marathon. I have been training to improve my marathon time, but another PR just wasn’t going to happen in 80 degree heat and humidity. However, I can now say I was the second female finisher at a Marathon. Of course, that being said, there was only one other female running the Marathon.
