Ephrata, PA, July 4, 2022—Ian Miller of Lancaster, who ran a strong second at the Lancaster Red Rose in June, wasn’t to be denied and sped through the Ephrata hills in 24:43. Caleb Hershey of Lebanon was the only runner in sight of Miller, and finished 2nd in 24:57. F & M runners Nate Alter and Peter Weida ran together much of the way. Both lost a few seconds, almost making a wrong turn, as your photographer used his outside voice to get them back on course. Alter was third in 25:41. Weida was fourth in 25:50. Dan Forry of Columba was fifth in 25:59. Lyle Stauffer of Ephrata was top master in his hometown race in 27:57. Stauffer was ninth overall.
Dee Koutsourais of Mohnton, PA won in 31:28; she ran alone in the front for the entire race. Courtney Gelb of Schnecksville, PA was second in 33:02. Vanessa Andes of Mountville, PA was third in 33:48. Mary Campbell of Ephrata was fourth in 33:56. Kayla Reidenbaugh of Ephrata was fifth in 34:52.
Karen Lam-Duckett of York was first master in 36:28. Kelly McKinley of York was second master in 36:50. A fairly large contingent of York runners came to the Lancaster County, due to the recent cancellation of the Shoe House 5 Miler. 396 runners finished the 45th Annual Fourth of July race.
