2010 Lake Country Half Marathon & 5K

Record Numbers make for a Jamming Day

Even with the woes of construction and a brand new course, the fifth annual Lake Country Half Marathon turned out record numbers. Cooler temperatures and just over 1400 people crossing the finish made for a fun and exciting race.

The race started out fast in the Half Marathon, with race winner Tim Caramore of Madison separating himself from the pack early, finishing with a time of 1:11:36.  Tim was nearly four minutes ahead of second place Nick Seiske of Waukesha who finished in 1:15:20; taking third was Marek Kotrly with a time of 1:16.36.

The women’s Half Marathon race was lead from start to finish by Angela Geschke of Beaver Dam with a time of 1:24:09.  Elizabeth Paddock of Madison took the 2nd podium spot in a time of 1:26:14.  3rd place went to Annie Weiss in a time of 1:26:31.

The 5K saw some fast times also with Joe Giacalore of Hartland taking top honors for the second year in a row, with a time of 16:55.  The top female winner, Waukesha native Heather Haviland, was pushing the pace of the top male winners as she cruised to a 3^rd place overall and a 1^st place in the women’s division with a time of 19:30.
