97 Complete All Five HARRA Fall Series Individual Races
97 runners completed the five (5) individual races, that includes last Sunday's Chevron Houston Marathon, which make up the Houston Area Road Runners Association's (HARRA) Fall Series.
The competitors covered 82.7 miles in the United Space Alliance 10-Miler, the Luke's Locker / Koala Health & Wellness Centers 20K, the Houston Masters Sports Association Classical 25K, the Houstonian Lite 30K and the Chevron Houston Marathon.
With the only sub 3-hour marathon of any runner on Sunday completing all five events, Houston's Tommy King used his 2:53:53 chip time to pass the Tornados' Francisco Perez, 40, into the top spot. Perez was able to hold on to second place and the Masters' overall win by just 17 seconds over HMSA's Larry Tidwell.
The women's field held close to form throughout the marathon as Houston Harriers' Suzanne Day and the Houston Striders' Jackie Connelly stayed in first and second after the 25K. Sara Collazos had held on to second until Connelly charged ahead with a 1:58:14.9 performance at the 25K.
Collazos barely stayed in front of the Striders' Yong Collins in third place, but fell to fourth after the 30K where the 50-year-old veteran bested her by more than four (4) minutes.
However, the 16-year-old came back to post a 3:33:52 effort on Sunday to pass Collins back into third. Collins held off Terlingua Track Club's Deb Clifford, 44, from fourth place by just three (3) seconds.
Chip times were used in the cumulative time totals and no age-grading was attempted to be done.
An additional 24 runners were in contention heading into the Houston Marathon; however, only nine (9) chose to run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon.

Nice research Jon. It's great to see how I did compared to other runners over the fall season. I've been a little down about my 4:01 marathon time, but when I see how others did with similar warm-up races it's encouraging to see that I wasn't the only one struggling!
