Two course records were broken Saturday, September 23 at the Fire Tower Run/Walk in Peshtigo. Kathy Waldron from Green Bay set the pace in the women’s 5K run with a time of 18:47. The previous course record of 19:22 was set by Sue Pierson in 2002. Ms. Waldron, who has over 50 marathons on her resume, is one of the top distance runners in Wisconsin.

Ryan Hartwig of Peshtigo set the other new course record. Ryan broke his own record of 16:10 set last year with an impressive time of 15:55.  Carole Patenaude, also of Peshtigo, defended her title in the 5K walk for her seventh straight victory.

Eight-year-old Tyler Nault of Peshtigo became the youngest person to ever run the 10K race. Tyler completed the 6.2-mile course in 53:15.
