Snake 2005 Race Results

Race Day Report

It was a beautiful day for Palouse Road Runners' 26^th annual Snake River Canyon Half Marathon on Saturday, March 5. A record 217 runners pre-registered for the 13.1 mile event and 69 more signed up on race day for a total of 286 racers. Race director Brian Zabriskie speculated that recent mild weather and sunshine the day of the race brought out runners in near record numbers. Skies were clear with temperatures in the 50s and a gentle breeze of 8 mph proved optimal for the runners, volunteers, friends, and families who came to Wawawai Canyon for the race.

Jane Hewitt of Juliaetta won the Women’s Open division in a time of 1:23:10. Jill Banister of Pendleton won the Women’s Masters division in 1:31:39.

Leif Kohler of Pullman was first in the Men’s Open division, with a time of 1:12:34, and Todd Parkey of Lewiston won the Men’s Masters division in 1:16:49.

Next year's Snake River Canyon Half Marathon is scheduled for Saturday, March 4, 2006.

The DVD is about 40 minutes long and covers the pre-race, race start, the lead packs of runners along the route, runners at the finish (to about the top third of the runners), and a portion of the awards. Although the DVD does not have titles and a fancy label, it is a very nice video record of the race. There are some fun interviews, including a short interview with the overall winner. The DVD video is a really great way to watch runners in action and re-live the race! Available on request for a fee of $10.00.
