BALLWIN, MO — It may have had a chilly start, but Alpine Shop’s Spring Trail Run Series heated up quickly as the first race tackled a stretch of Castlewood State Park’s Grotpeter Trail.
The approximately three mile course had one major climb, the stretch up Justin’s Trail on the northeast side of the park. From there, it flattened out on the top after the Ries Rd., crossing and then continued down the Fren Glen Connector back to the finish line in our new staging area near the first shelter.
Andy Koziatek took home the overall win with a final time of 19:29.8 followed by Caleb Brackett at 20:17 and Sunny Gilbert – also the top female finisher – at 21:32. Koziatek and Brackett were both competing in their first Trail Run Series Race. Gilbert is a long time competitor who has been the top female finisher in every race she has competed in during the history of the Trail Run Series.

Just wondering…are you guys still working on the AG results. I see myself in the overall results, but not in the W50-59?
It was a great race and looking forward to next week and the week after and the week after that!
Well, that’s interesting… We’ll check into it and repost the results as soon as we can. Thanks for letting us know!
