They're off! Runners start of the 10Km. (SRN photo)
Like the cherry blossoms around the duck pond, the Zoo Zoom is a sure sign of spring in Land Park.
Conditions were perfect today–sunny and warm–for a fast run in the park.
Kevin Pool and Stacey Worthen were the winners in the 5Km, in 15:02 and 18:45.

There has been a lot of racing going on around here! With all the rain and mud we’ve been slogging through, it’s hard to believe that this is the beginning of the summer, short-distance race season–but it is.
At Sunday’s Kaiser Permanente Women’s Fitness Festival 5K, Caroline Kirui, of Auburn (by way of Kenya), smoked all comers with a 16:26. This was surely one of the fastest women’s 5K times we’ve seen in town lately.
Rounding out the rest of the top-three were two of Sacramento’s top masters talents–Mary Coordt, of Elk Grove, was the second finisher in 17:45, and Kirsten Schneider, of Sacramento, was third in 18:24.
