Posted on Sep 17 2005
The 5th Annual Saipan International School 5K Fun Run would be held on Oct. 1, 2005, a Saturday.
Like the previous stagings of the fun run, the SIS 5K event would start at Banzai Cliff in Marpi with participants running their way towards the 2.5-kilometer turnaround near the Marpi Sanitary Landfill before retracing the marks made by their running shoes back to the finish line at Banzai Cliff.
Registration begins as early as 6:30am and the start is set an hour later at 7:30am. Participation in the annual fun run costs $10, which would entitle runners to a free T-shirt and an opportunity to win terrific prizes in a raffle that would be held after the run.
Last year, longtime distance runner and CNMI National Triathlon Team veteran Dirk Sharer won the race in a lightning-quick time of 19:24. He was followed by Russ Quinn (20:05) and Ketson “Jack” Kabiriel (20:15). The latter still holds the event record of 18:59, which he set in 2001.
Topping the women’s category, meanwhile, was Suzanne Kindel, who crossed the finish line in 24:57. She was followed by Teanna Stevensen (25:05) and Vicki Taitano (25:23).
