2011 Camp Fontanelle Halloween Wilderness Race Summary

On October 29, 2011 a total of 90 walkers and runners ages 9 to 56 converged on Camp Fontanelle for the 1 mile walking or 5k running challenge on the trails of Camp Fontanelle.  The overall men’s champion was 16 year old Mason Brown of Fremont with an impressive winning time of 19:19 while the women’s defending champion was 16 year old Suzie Huhman also of Columbus with a time of 26:24.  The scenic course was endorsed by many as the most beautiful (and quite challenging) of all 5k courses with plans to return in 2012.  A spaghetti meal was enjoyed afterwards by 120 participants and fans.  Worship around a campfire at the Amphitheater followed supper and was led by Pastor Jason Kennedy of Bellevue St. James UMC.  Reports of witches, mad scientists, green aliens, giant cardinals, a hippie, and jokers among other costumed characters were confirmed.
