The 5K was Bert Rodriguez's big breakthrough, after finishing second at other recent races. First among women was Win Persina.
In the 10K, Malcolm Lester broke away from Rob Johnson to take first, and Karen Young was first among women.
Race director Rolland Elliott brought lovely holiday gifts for the top 3 in each 10-year age group.
Among the participants were 32 runners from Secondary Life Capital, LLC (SLC), including Jerry Cherrington, chief acquisitions officer, and Mark Goode, president.
The races also served as PVA's 2005 5K and 10K championships, with certificates for the top 3 overall and first in each 10-year age group. Alan Thatcher and Win Persina won the 5K championship; and Laura DeLucia and Jack McMahon captured the 10K titles.
