The Kinston 8000:
3rd Annual
Run for the River
8 Kilometer & 1 Mile Fun Run
March 29, 2008
The weather turned windy and cold but the runners ran hot in this year’s Kinston 8000: Run for the River (March 29, 2008), the three-year-old event which continues to attract more runners, more sponsors and enthusiastic throngs of volunteers.
Wintry blasts under an overcast sky didn’t prevent each of the top three male 8K runners to pump out speeds beating the 2007 winning time: Devin Swann, 27, of Raleigh was first to cross the finish line at a 24:51 pace; Boone resident Ryan Woods, 29, came in second with a time of 25:21; and third place went to Wrightsville Beach runner Tom Clifford, 24. whose time was 25:54. Michael Earle of Greenville was top male runner in 2007 with a time of 25:58.
The top female runner was Heather Lee, 27, of Clayton who ran the 8K in 30:09; followed in second place by Elissa Ballas, 28, of Goldsboro who ran the Kinston downtown course in 30:28. Leigh Adams, 33, of Wrightsville Beach was third.
