Above are the award winners for the 2nd Annual Gloucester 8K Run and 3K Run/Walk held on the roads around Gloucester High School in Gloucester, VA. Awards in the 8K went to the top 3 men and women overall and the top 3 in each age group. Awards were also given for the top 3 men and women in the 3K. The race was held on Saturday morning, February 16, 2013. Proceeds support the Gloucester County Educational Foundation. The race itself was conducted by the Peninsula Track Club.

The race was held on a challenging day with temperatures dropping from 40 into the 30s as rain started which occasionally turned to snow during the
run. Breezy conditions increased the weather challenge.

Despite the conditions 169 runners signed up, 71 in the 3K and 98 in the 8K. A total of 144 runners completed one of the events, with 58 finishers in the 3K and 86 finishers in the 8K. The races were held simultaneously with the same start and finish – the 3K participants
completed the initial out and pack loop while the 8K runners went past Gloucester High School to do a different 5K loop that made up the 8K course. The courses are accurately measured but are not USATF
certified.
