17th Annual Springburst 8K
March 8, 2003
The Springburst 8K is a challenging race hosted by PGRC. The hills of Greenbelt National Park provide over 100 runners a chance to test their fitness levels before the summer racing season begins. Race activities include a fun run for kids.
This year's race marked the 17th anniversary of the event. After a winter noted for cancelling area races, we had fast weather and runners for this year's Springburst. The winning time of 26:30, by Glen Mays, may well be a course record. We are investigating our older files to be sure. Denise Knickman repeated as the women's overall winner, in a time of 30:46, bettering last year's performance by 45 seconds and claiming the two fastest women's times in at least the last 5 runnings of the race.
