Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Despite drizzle and clouds, 40 people participated in Wednesday's first Kosciusko Community YMCA Frigid Five run.
The New Year's Day event was a five-kilometer run that began at the YMCA, headed down Country Club Road and back to the YMCA.
The overall winner was Pete Fussle with a time of 18:43:03. The fastest couple award went to Summer and Paul Boyd.
Categorical (male and female) winners included:
Mike Block in the 10-and-up group; Ian Fussle and Summer Boyd in the 11-15 group; Will Woodward in the 16-20 group; Pete Fussle in the 21-25 group; Mark Landes and Julia Rosdad, 26-33; David Dorais and Ellen Schwendlemann, 34-42; Neil Tate, Patty Schwartz and Deb Kunish, 43-49; Heinz Fussle in the 50 and above.
The event also recognized the largest family of participants. That went to the Fussles, who had six family members and a dog participating.
YMCA health and fitness director Tom Coxey said they plan to make the Frigid Five an annual event.
