Congratulations goes to KVOE for winning the Freedom Run media challenge. This year KVOE had 22 runners, who you could tell had been around a track a time or two. They also had a chase vehicle that was probably loaded down with high-tech equipment telling them how to get around the course fastest. At The Gazette we enjoy a good challenge so I thought it would be fun to have Ashley and I take on KVOE’s mighty team. I figured of the 3.1 mile race Ashley could run the 3 miles and I could attempt to run the .1 part. Despite our best effort the win went to KVOE. But I am proud of Ashley’s time because she was only 30 seconds off KVOE’s winning time. I predict if my wife ups her training program she will have a good chance of beating KVOE’s 22 runners next year. - Chris Walker View photo
