Results from The Bricker 7k 2019 – Brewery Run Series

Award winners at The Bricker 7k 2019

The final race of the 2019 Brewery Run Series had the biggest turn-out yet with 42 runners completing The Bricker 7k. Herman Mentz and Sara Tyne of Sechelt were the overall winners, each taking home a growler from The Bricker.

Start of The Bricker 7k 2019

Starting and finishing at Mason and Norwest Bay in West Sechelt, the route took the runners past farms along Mason Road, past breathtaking vistas of Sechelt Inlet from Heritage Road, and through shady trails from the Crowston Connector back to Mason. A refreshing breeze kept the heat of the sun at bay, but participants still found it quite warm and made good use of the two water stations provided.

Herman Mentz and Sara Tyne, overall winners of The Bricker 7k

Overall winners Herman Mentz and Sara Tyne

Unlike last week’s Tapworks 5k, the battle for first overall in the 7k was a close one, with Mentz edging out Byron Fader of Powell River by just four seconds. Taking a strong third 41 seconds later was Sechelt’s Jamie Leveque.

The women’s race was a different story with Tyne finishing well over a minute ahead of her nearest rival. Second and third were much closer, with Alexa Dornbierer of Sechelt crossing the line only nine seconds ahead of Katie Oliver of Gibsons.

There were a number of tight races for first place among the age categories. Tamas Mihalyi was just six seconds ahead of Stephen Rhodes in the Men’s 50+ division; the Women’s 40-49 division saw Roberta Sim finish only ten seconds ahead of Donna Findlay; and Brenda Simpson gapped Nadine Slingerland by only eight seconds in the Women’s 50+ group.

After enjoying fruit and goodies at the finish line, participants and volunteers headed over to The Bricker for the awards ceremony, a well-earned cider (included with the race entry) and breakfast from The Manor Born foods.

Leveque was the lucky winner of a pair of shoes from PaceSetter Athletic Footwear, in the Grand Prize Draw for the series. His name was drawn from among those who ran at least three of the series races.

The organizers would like to thank the wonderful team of volunteers who made this event possible: Alison Rhodes, Randi Johnsen, Mike Meggiato, Conchita Harding, Greg Carter, Kati Saarinen, Lori Leveque, Susan Blair, Randy Eistetter, Stephen Rhodes, and Michelle Von Schleinitz.

The next local road race hosted by PaceSetter is coming up August 11th in Garden Bay. Register now for the Four Lakes 10k + 3k Family Fun Run/Walk, and enjoy a morning (or a whole day) at beautiful Katherine Lake Park.

Results from Tapworks 5k 2019 – Brewery Run Series

Tapworks 5k winners

Race #3 of the series was hot and sunny just like in 2018. A total of 31 runners challenged themselves on the scenic course which took them from Armour’s Beach along the oceanfront path, then back and forth through the residential area of Gibsons Landing below the bluff. A quick jaunt through the Arrowhead Park trail provided some respite from the hot sun before heading back to the seaside path for the final kilometre back to Armour’s Beach. Quite a few finishers cooled off with a refreshing ocean swim before heading over to Tapworks for the post-run festivities.

Will Rice and Liz Cullen, winners, Tapworks 5kPowell River’s Will Rice was in a class of his own, blasting around the course in 18:19 for the overall win. Will is under 19 so his dad Tony (who also raced) was the lucky recipient of the first place growler!

Second and third overall spots were claimed by Sechelt’s Jamie Leveque and Gibsons’ Theo Kontekakis in 21:24 and 21:53, respectively.

First female finisher and 4th overall was Gibsons’ Liz Cullen in 21:59. Cullen was also the overall female winner at Race #2 (10.1k at The 101). Second and third women to cross the line several minutes later were Kelsey Mulvihill and Katie Oliver, just 14 seconds apart.

Amazing performance of the day goes to Jacob Norris of Sechelt, who finished the 5k in a very impressive 31:09 – at six years of age!

Huge thanks to all our wonderful volunteers: Randi Johnsen, Alison Rhodes, Deanne Shuttleworth, Conchita Harding, Greg Carter, Kati Saarinen, Brent Sanford, Alex Nightingale, Maria Nightingale, and Michelle von Schleinitz.

Overall winners each received a growler from Tapworks; top 3 in each age group received medals; and a number of draw prizes from PaceSetter and Tapworks were given away to runners and volunteers. Each participant and volunteer also received a ticket for 1 free beer or cider and enjoyed watermelon and cookies.

Join us for the final event of the 2019 series on Sunday July 28th at 10am – The Bricker 7k. Starts and finishes at Mason Road and Norwest Bay Road. Register online for best rate!

10.1k at The 101

Thirty people came out to run in the rain at the second event of the 2019 Brewery Run Series. Temperature was great for racing, though, and everyone dried off quickly at the post-race celebrations at The 101.lead pack - 10.1k at The 101

A lead pack of 5 men stayed together until the bottom of the Mahan Trail. Hannes Weber of Sechelt broke away and led to the finish in 44:13. On the women’s side, Liz Cullen of Gibsons took an early lead and gradually extended it for a 48:30 first place clocking.

Trudy Baba finished only 2 seconds over 1:01, winning an extra beer ticket for being the closest to 1:01!

This year’s course was slightly different from 2018 with an easier, flatter final kilometre.

Big thanks to all our wonderful volunteers: Deanne Shuttleworth, Conchita Harding, Greg Carter, Randi Johnsen, Mike Meggiato, Alison Rhodes, Nadine Slingerland, Alex Nightingale, Maria Nightingale, Michelle von Schleinitz, Susan Blair and Randy Eistetter!

Start of 5-Dollar 5K Series race #4

The spring 2019 edition of the PaceSetter 5-Dollar 5K Series concluded on Sunday March 10 under sunny skies and the mildest temperature so far. It was actually pleasant standing around at the finish line, even for participants who raced in shorts. Could spring be finally here?

Roberts Creek’s Keaton McIlwraith took first place for the 3rd week in a row. The temptation of a mega-sized chocolate bar, offered by volunteer and club-mate Alison Rhodes as a reward for beating last week’s personal best time, didn’t quite do the trick – but McIlwraith’s time of 20:07 was not far off and Rhodes relinquished the chocolate prize nonetheless.

Second place was again claimed by Sechelt’s Jamie Leveque, who managed to carve off another 11 seconds from his 5K personal best, even without the lure of candy.

Third overall and first female Kallalei Ryden of Gibsons slashed 23 seconds from her previous best time. She recorded 21:00 thanks to some pacing help from 1500m specialist and former Chatelech Eagle Jordan Wilson, who was visiting home for the weekend.

Sacha Stipec of Gibsons also put down her best time of the series (21:40) to again claim second female honours, three seconds better than last week’s result.

Third woman across the line was first-time racer Sara Skeath of Sechelt, who was thrilled to complete the 5K well under the 30 minute mark, with the clock reading 29:21.

The organizers would like to thank our dedicated volunteers Alison Rhodes, Nadine Slingerland, Ann Law, and Cole Buryniuk.

Next local race is the BMO Sunshine Coast April Fool’s Run presented by Eastlink, on Sunday April 7. And the second annual Sunshine Coast Brewery Run Series will be returning in June and July. Keep training and we’ll see you at the races!

Results from 5-Dollar 5K Series 2019 Race #3

Sprint for 3rd place

Race #3 of the 5-Dollar 5K Series was all about speed as a number of participants improved their times over the previous couple of weeks. The persistent snow and ice on the trails finally receded enough to allow safe use of the official course, rather than an out and back road-only route. Temperatures were still around the freezing mark with a light wind adding to the chill, but sunshine and blue sky cheered the runners and volunteers.

The top finishers were a repeat of Race #2. Keaton McIlwraith of Roberts Creek significantly improved his 5k personal best with a 19:43 clocking for the win. In second place at 20:50, Jamie Leveque of Sechelt cut 20 seconds off last week’s result — despite a plan to “take it easy” after completing a long marathon training run the day before.

To defend her third place spot, Kallalei Ryden of Gibsons not only had to outkick regular series rival Sacha Stipec of Gibsons, but also her own younger brother Sierra Ryden. The three teens gave it their all as they sprinted to the finish line, crossing just seconds apart, with Stipec in fourth and the younger Ryden in fifth (third male overall).

Gibsons’ Krisztina Harasztosi overcame jetlag to take third female spot in 25:58, having just returned from a visit to her home country of Hungary.

The organizers would like to thank our super volunteers Alison Rhodes, Ann Law, Jamie Leveque, Susan Blair, Randy Eistetter, and Valerie Ryden.

The fourth and final event of the series is Sunday March 10th at PaceSetter, with a 10am start — but it’ll feel like a 9am start as Daylight Saving starts the night before. Join us for some fun running or walking, coffee, snacks and draw prizes!
