SALISBURY — This past Sunday, on a sparkling clear morning, temperatures soared into the low 80s for the annual Vermont Sun Run at Branbury State Park in Salisbury.
Athletes competed in three foot races in what is the final leg of the 2014 Vermont Sun Run and Triathlon Series.
Cory Coffey of Vergennes, 37, won the half-marathon event in 1:27:55, which worked out to a pace of 6:43 per mile for the 13.2-mile race. The women’s champion in that race was 20-year-old Jessica Okrant of South Chittenden in 1:41:59.
Alex von Stange, a 16-year-old from Shelburne, won the 10 kilometer race in 43:53. Middlebury’s Allison Fasoli, 32, claimed the women’s 10K (6.1 mile) title and was second overall.
Willo Sullivan, 51, of Springfield won the 5K in 25:35.
Vermont Sun Fitness Center of Middlebury and Vergennes staged the events. The Middlebury Union High School girls’ soccer team worked all the aid stations, and part of the race proceeds went to support them. Local major sponsors of the event included Vermont Hard Cider and the Addison Independent.
