2013 20-Mile Leader Update

Owen Bradley of Birmingham AL continues to lead through 20 miles, hoping to become the ‘groom’ instead of a ‘bridesmaid’, as he’s finished second here twice but not won yet.  He passed 20 miles in 2:16:17, on pace for a sub-5-hour finish, followed by Kevin Brandon in second place in 2:21:25.  Women’s leader Jill Horst has moved into third place by passing Arthut Priddy, but neither had reached the 20-mile mark as of the lead vehicle update.




2013 Race Starts Right On Time

The 2013 Strolling Jim (TM) 40 Mile Run started right on time this morning – 7:00 AM Central Daylight Time – with about 100 hardy runners braving the chilly drizzly conditions.  At the 10-Mile mark, Owen Bradley of Birmingham AL was the race leader, passing the mark at 1:07:24.  Bradley, a two-time second-place finisher here, is making a bid for the top spot this year.  Close behind him are Dickson TN’s Kevin Brandon at 1:10:34, Arthur Priddy of Jackson TN at 1:13:41, and the lead female Jill Horst of Rome GA was in fourth place overall in 1:13:50.  Grand Prairie TX’s Jeff Kirk was behind Horst in 1:15:16, followed by Chris Estes of Murfreesboro TN in 1:16:557.
