Rare treat for runners
WOODSTOCK – Richmond-Burton junior Ben Gardner found himself in a different race Saturday at the Woodstock Ryan Byrne Festival.
Running in the meet with flighted races, Gardner was alone after the first mile on the 3.1-mile course at Emricson Park.
“I was racing myself there,” said Gardner, the Flight 5 winner. “It was a mental game because there was no one else to pace off of. Having everyone cheering you on out front was a blast. It was kind of weird, I’m not used to that.”
