The inaugural Race to the Rocker, a four-mile footrace on Route 66 from Cuba, Mo., to the world’s largest rocking chair at the Fanning 66 Outpost and General Store, drew 155 participants on Saturday under nearly perfect weather conditions.
The race, organized by local running club JOG Inc., raised $7,500 to help Cuba’s high school build a new running track.
The top runner was Kyle Gibbs, 31, of Rolla, Mo., in a time of 24:06.5. The top female runner was Cristy Kruse of Cuba in 29:25.7. Complete results can be seen here.
The second annual Race to the Rocker is already being planned, with a March 27, 2010, date.
