First place finishers for the 2022 Holy Cowans Gap 50k: Erin Kelman and Emily Warner

The 10th annual Holy Cowans Gap did not disappoint, with a total of 54 brave starters and 38 finishers. The first place male was Erin Kelman, who finished way out front in 5:42. Joseph Crawford and Chris Pabian battled it out for that runner up podium spot until the last few miles. First place female goes to Emily Warner in an awesome time of 6:38, with Magali Hoebeck in second and Kristen Kelman in a close third.

It was, as always at Holy Cowan’s Gap, a great post-race BBQ on the lake, with perfect weather enjoyed by VHTRC friends and family. It proved to be the perfect setting and conditions to send off run co-founder Alisa Springman into retirement, after this transition year with new RD Sheila Vibert. Thanks to all the volunteers and runrs for coming out for some cheering and jeering, and we look forward to seeing everyone next year!
