Gather for Giralda Farms Run
BY ELLIOTT KOPPEL
MADISON, NJ--The twenty-fifth annual Giralda Farms Run was
held November 8 at the beautiful Giralda Farms Corporate Park.
This year’s event was highlighted in having the 10K race
sanctioned by the USATF as a Masters event for both men and women.
The race also hosted open and corporate team competitions and
in the 5K, parent/child team competitions. USATF team scoring
was based on the times of the team’s runners. Parent/child
teams and non-USATF team results were age and gender adjusted.
The race started at noon with over 1350 runners completing
either the 10K or 5K race. Earlier in the day, a fun run for
approximately fifty younger runners took place over a ¾-mile
course. Some parents who ran in the later races accompanied the
younger children in the fun run as a warm up. Over 100 dedicated
staffers showed up including volunteers from the Madison, NJ
based Rose City Runners Club, the Madison H.S. Cross-Country
team, and Madison Police auxiliaries.
