After setting event records for money raised and runners registered for Sunday’s Credit Union SACTOWN Run, past champions Jordan Chipangama and Jane Kibii kept the momentum going by besting strong elite fields to win 10-mile individual titles and claim the $2,000 first prizes.

As an added bonus, Kibii, a 31-year old Kenya native who has lived in Auburn, set the women’s course record by nearly a minute to take home an additional $500 course record reward.

The SACTOWN event, organized by the Sacramento Running Association and sponsored by credit unions from California and Nevada, raised more than $200,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, which includes UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

It looks like living in Redding is agreeing with the Halls, well, Sara at least. She won gold in the 3000 meter steeple at the Pan American Games this past Sunday.

In case you haven’t heard, Ryan and Sara Hall are moving to Redding.

Expect a new course record at the NorCal 10.
