YORK, PA, AUGUST 24, 2019—Luis Miranda of Lebanon PA won his second straight York Rail Trail 10 Miler.  Miranda sprinted to the start, barely making it in time, and continued his fast running towards York.  The 21st running of the Arc of York County York Rail Trail 10 Miler started in Seven Valleys and toured the little borough briefly before entering the rail trail after running through a kind person’s grass.  Yes, the race has permission to do that.  Miranda won in 55:11.  Andrew Friesma of York was second in 57:25.  Alec Wetchor was third and last of the sub-60-minute finishers.  Joshua Jamison of York was the top Master and fifth overall in 1:02:10.
