2004 8K Cross Country Challenge November 20, 2004 Weather: Cloudy, 45 degrees Under threatening skies, 67 runners completed the 4th annual 8K Cross Country Challenge at the MDC Reservoir in West Hartford. Despite fallen trees, and a slight course diversion, Stephen Herrera blasted through the woods with a time of 26:51 to take the overall men's title, and Kate Lapinski won the women's crown in 32:05. Runners were treated to the special Anti-Atkins treats of the Collinsville Baking Company, and the wonderful support crew of Maggie Blackmore, Beth Shluger, Peter Hawley, David Reik, Jason Sparkowski, Will Graustein, Todd Brown, Bruce Heim, and Cindy Kozak. Many thanks to our great volunteer crew and the runners who danced their way through the roots, rocks, trees, and leaves of the West Hartford Reservoir complex.
