Spring and summer is running time on the Outer Banks. One of the most recent entries into the local running mix is the Ocracoke Island Race, which is a 5K or 10K race which was held last Saturday. Connie Leinbach of the Island Free Press does a great job of recreating the feeling of race day.
“Alfonso “Chito” Guerrero looked like a gazelle as he bounded ahead of the pack to win the 10K portion of the third annual 5K/10K Ocracoke Island race on Saturday. It was his third time winning the race in as many years with a time of 38:40.
Guerrero, 33, hardly looked winded as he and other runners gathered at Gaffer’s Sports Pub where the race registration, awards and after-party were held. The first year of the race was only a 5K, which Guerrero won, and the first time for the 10K last year, Guerrero also won.”
