Shared Albums Courtesy of David Colby Young for Maine Running Photos
Winner of the honor of middle of the pack
It is always great to have people like Allyn Genest. It might look like David Colby Young & Allyn Genest are every where but there are more races out there than the two of us can cover.
We need photographers to join our team. It is mostly volunteering but sometimes you will get a t-shirt.
In this 9th race of the 2025 series, some if not all of the runners above were new people.
Marathon Sports Maine stated: We also loved seeing the @finishstrongpt High School Run Club out there laying down some impressive performances as they gear up for XC season!
We are not sure if Don Penta is covering this race tonight. Allyn Genest was there last week. We have reposted three images courtesy of Marathon Sports Maine.

It’s the end of the Weekly Back Cove Series 5k next week! As such, it’s time to do a little math, see who can possibly win without running a world record time, and share the results.
So, here’s where we stand:
Overall, Marah Borgman can not be caught, and realistically neither can Aaron Wellingham (Nick could _technically_ catch him without running a world record…)
So, assuming we have our overall winners, here are the leaders for each age group (locked for the win without requiring a world record performance denoted with an *asterisk):
+ 19 and under: *Even Trieu and Grace Alexander
+ 20-29: Kyle Long and *Amanda Keiser
+ 30-39: *Nicholas Denari and Katherine Mauro
+ 40-49: *Adam Hallett and Kara Perrelli
+ 50-59: *Peter Burke and Marci Train
+ 60-69: Peter Lodge and Suzie Entwistle
+ 70 and over: *Bob Mackinnon and *Margaritt Mcnulty
We were going to separate 19 and under into 13 and under and 14-19, but given that there were no boys between 14-19 and no girls under 14, it didn’t seem necessary.
Note again that the “locked for win” folks are only locked because somebody would need to run a world record performance to pass them…realistically, there’s only 4 people that can catch the leader in their age group without running more than 2 minutes faster than their top-5-races average pace:
+ 20-29: Kyle Long has to watch out for 2 people:
– Ian Liphart needs a 57 second season PR, but also has a 2 minute and 45 second cushion that Kyle can beat him by.
– Brian Way needs a 53 second season PR and can’t be beat by Kyle by more than 32 seconds.
+ 40-49: Madeleine Sheehan could catch Katherine Mauro with a 45 second season PR, even if she’s up to 7 seconds behind of Katherine.
+ 50-59: Maureen Sylvia could catch Marci Train with a 20 second season PR, as long as she also beat her by at least 8 seconds.
I’m not friends on facebook with everybody running like I used to be, so please tag your friends if you spot them so they know what they need to run in order to keep or overtake an age group win!
