Vancouver runners clearly ruled at this year’s Midsummer 8K race. Adam Byles in the division M30-34 was the winner overall in 25:13 “I was trying to get out hard and to hang in there,” he says. “It was an interesting race. I run lots on the track and liked the forth-and-back and it’s flat.”
The women’s winner overall was Natasha Wodak from Vancouver in 28:07. “It wasn’t my fastest time, I ran 8k quite a bit faster,” she says, adding: “They just said go, there was no countdown. That was really funny.”
