Shigeki Tenorio and Terra Allen ran an unconventional Run Saipan race last Saturday dubbed the Run Saipan Dash & Splash 5K \u201823 and won first place in their respective divisions.<\/p>\n

Not only were the participants treated to a scenic back-of-the-woods run trail through the road heading into beautiful East Bay, they ended their race into a splash of said bay for a much-needed swim.<\/p>\n

Tenorio dashed past 14 other participants and was the first with a time of 25:24. In the women\u2019s division, Allen dashed and splashed first with a time of 27:20.<\/p>\n

Joining Tenorio in the Top 3 in the men\u2019s division were Chong Name Lee and Simon Necesito with times of 27:08 and 29:32, respectively. Runners-up to Allen in the women\u2019s division were Chiharu Sato who clocked in at 33:08 and Elizabeth Church with 38:25.<\/p>\n

This race is a Dr. Ron Snyder original and is a staple event dedicated only to the most hardcore of runners. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a typical race,\u201d he said. \u201cThe time doesn\u2019t stop until you hit the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a challenging course too. Lots of hills, rough roads, and then a leap into East Bay to complete the splash. For some people the jump into the water was a real challenge and took some time to gather the nerve. But everyone finished and I think everyone had fun. And that was the goal,\u201d said Snyder.<\/p>\n

He added that runner \u201cLeo Wania was great. He had another commitment so he came really late but started on his own and joined us at the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Tenorio, he said that the race was fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was first nervous about jumping into the East Bay cliff after the 5K run. But when I did, it felt so refreshing and I was able to cool down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven from the beginning, surrounded by green nature, Tapochao mountain view, Laolao ocean view\u2026. I loved it! I\u2019m definitely going to join again if there\u2019s any in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n
