At the half marathon distance it was Carrie Dimoff of Portland, Ore. who won with a time of 1:25:26.
"I loved the race," said Barb Mica who completed the half marathon. "It was very hilly but scenic. The runners are all so polite compared to coed triathlon it felt like a bunch of nice girls," she added.
At the end of the race Firefighters handed out small wrapped Tiffany and Co. boxes to the finishers that held a silver necklace with the inscription "Run Like a Girl."
