Sheldon Annexes Third Roxbury Win Of 2007

ROXBURY – Jeff Sheldon, 26, the 2005 season champion, captured his third win this year at the weekly Roxbury Road Race Series by covering a 2.4-mile course in 13-minutes, 29-seconds.

John LaRosa, 25, who had taken the last five races in the series, placed second in 14:09.

Pam Quist, 43, of the New Preston section of Washington was the first female finisher and placed ninth overall in 15:58.

The series, which is sponsored by the Roxbury Recreation Commission, will continue Saturday, Apr. 21, at 8:30 a.m. with a 4.8-mile race that will include a trip along part of Judds Bridge Road.

The series will hold its 17th annual Larry Kershnar MidSpring Challenge Saturday, May 5, at 8:30 a.m. over a 4.3-mile course.

There will be a $5 entry fee that can be paid that morning between 7:15 and 8:20. Proceeds will go to the Roxbury park improvement fund.

Dr. Kershnar, a longtime Roxbury resident, was head director of the series from 1980 through 1985 and expanded the series from a 8-week summer format to the current 41 races a year.

He served as the chairman of the Science Department of New Milford High School and later was an Education professor at WCSU in Danbury.

During the awards ceremony after the race that day, the runners will announce which high schools have been awarded grants for their cross country/track &field programs. This will be the eighth successive year that the series has provided some funding to either high school runners or to their high school athletic departments.

The weekly races start and finish near the Everett Hurlburt Community Park on West Apple Lane.

    Safety  

    Safety is important to us, as we don't run on closed roads and generally like each other.  

    It is safest if we face traffic as much as possible.  Also, it is safer if we are all on the same side of the road, instead of making traffic drive between runners.

    Fossil has three rules of running:

  1. Be safe

  2. Have fun

  3. It's more fun if you run well

    Be nice to the drivers.  For the most part, they like us, and they are proud to have us running in Roxbury.  Smile, and, if you wave, be sure you use all five fingers.

      The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on RunningInTheUSA and on HiTekRacing.com
