The snow and slush melted enough that runners didn't even get their feet wet on Saturday at the fourth annual Invest in Youth Fund Run.  The out and back venue on the Centennial Trail was well received.  Next year's run will be held in the same location.  Each out and back measured 5.15 miles, according to GPS measurement, which agrees well with the location of the half mile markers in the pavement.

Van Phan topped all entrants for mileage with Tony Covarrubias taking second place honors.  Some participants ran shorter distances, but all provided support for the Snohomish County YMCA, which was the goal of the event.  Special recognition goes out to Genia Kacey who finished a bit over a marathon while 6 months pregnant.  According to Tony C, this qualifies her for 53 miles.  Who am I to argue with this logic. 

Thanks to all for participating.  KRK

Each lap = 5.15 miles, with some additional 1.0 mile lengths
