Hunter Nails and Daniel Sillivant raced to the tape for a thrilling finish to kick off the summer Greenway Grand Prix series on June 20.
The series consists of four Friday evening races, all held on flat and fast greenways in Huntsville. The 5K race was held on Aldridge Creek Greenway. Similar to the Running Lane summer and winter Wild Thangs trail series events, the Greenway Grand Prix races increase in distance with each event.
The second one is June 27, a 4-miler at Indian Creek Greenway. The July 18 race will be an 8K (5 miles) at Big Cove Greenway in Hampton Cove. The final one on Aug. 1 will be a 10K on the Aldridge Creek Greenway going out of Ditto Landing. Ditto and Aldridge Creek are home to several popular events, including the Boston or Bust marathon.
Nails nipped Sillivant by a few steps, finishing in 16:45:34 for the win. Sillivant crossed in 16:46:84.
Megan Allan won the women’s division, finishing in 18:25 and in fourth place.
The inaugural race had 89 official finishers.
