Below and attached are the award winners for the 16th ANNUAL SMART SMILES 5K held at the Mariners’ Museum Park Warwick Field on Saturday, August 19, 2023. The race was sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of the Virginia Peninsula. The Smart Smiles 5K is also the 7th race of the 12-race 2023 Peninsula Track Club Grand Prix.
The out-and-back course started in the Mariners’ Museum Park across from Warwick High School, followed park roads out to and across Lion’s Bridge before returning to finish near the race start. The 5K course is not USATF Certified but is accurately measured and was followed correctly by the runners.
The 2023 edition of the Smart Smiles 5K was held under great running conditions for mid-August: clear with a slight breeze and a temperature of 72 at race start. 156 runners and walkers entered the 5K event with 136 completing 5K course.
New this year are team competitions with both Youth (16 & Under) and Open categories using the combined times of the Top 3 in each team.
Two new age-group course record for the Smart Smiles 5K were set today:
For MEN 60-64, Philip Crosby, 60 of Bloomfield CT, set a new age group record with a time of 19:26 besting the previous record of 22:14 set by Jim Christol in 2009.
