San Geronimo Golf Course, Distance ~ 4.5 miles
July 13th, 2007
100 Finishers: 78 men, 22 women
"Golden Shoes" winner: Peter O'Reilly
An Evening in San Geronimo Valley. The words conjure images of tranquility, and relaxation. Unless you're a TCRS runner, and memories of the oppressive heat of 2006 obscure all else. Those memories, though, should also call up a wonderful post-race gathering on the lawn, with food and drink and socializing well after nightfall. Any sequel has special challenges, but Brad O'Brien was determined to show us that under more reasonable conditions (i.e., only moderately warm), this course is a beautiful setting for our Summer Evening TCRS, and he succeeded. The opening stretch across a well-manicured, soft green fairway sets a perfect cross-country tone, with just enough incline here and there throughout the 2-loop course to keep everyone honest. Youngsters Terrence Bennett and Kelsey Ripp helped to reduce just a bit the image of Tamalpa as primarily a graying herd, winning the men's and women's races in a field of 100 finishers. And the sequel to the post-race festivities absolutely measured up, with a big crowd staying well into the evening to enjoy a delicious meal served up by Chris and Kathy and all of the San Geronimo staff. Marilyn and Lillie had full command of the race operations, ably assisted by Jay, Anitra, Ray, George, Austin and others, without whom none of this would ever happen. - Jim Myers
