Road racing update
Special to the Time-Tribune
Runners from the Tri-County have had a busy two months competing in races around the region.
Eighteen runners from the area converged on Indianapolis in October to take part in the Indianapolis Marathon, Half Marathon and 5-K road races. The day, Oct. 17, was highlighted by Paula Jackson’s finish in the marathon where she ran a time good enough to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Jackson, 45, of Corbin, finished the 26.2-mile race with a time of 3:51. The marathon was her first attempt at that distance. Jackson spent several months preparing for the race. She trains with the Falls Road Runners running club.
Another area racer, Scott Payne of Heidrick, just missed qualifying for Boston in his age group. It was also his first attempt. Payne, 36, missed the mark by just more than a minute. His finishing time was 3:17:17.
