Rock the Block Festival Race Results

Friday, August 28, 2010, 7:00 PM
The Max, Metairie, LA
Race Director: Chuck George, New Orleans Track Club

Despite rain, the threat of more rain and rainy conditions it actually turned out to be a good day for running with low temperatures due to the overcast and rainy skies. Those in attendance saw Kevin Castille blaze to a 15:07 finish time for the 5K, which may well be the fastest time for a 5K finisher in the metro area in 2010 thus far. Lanie Sansing was the overall women's division winner at 24:11. A very low turnout given the conditions and perhaps other Katrina-related activities during the race date. Post-race amenities included awards for all finishers, lots of refreshments and a very good atmosphere. This event despite a small scale start has the opportunity to become a very large race. Proceeds benefit several local charites. Thanks to the following sponsors: The Max, Colby's , The Beach House, C. Beevers, Miller Lite Beer, Shoney's, and Kentwood Springs Water.
