Abe Monreal led the Quail Creek Runners and placed third in his age group (Men 55-59) in 49:48. He was 44th of the 231 runners who participated.
The other four Quail Creek Runners who finished the challenging race were Gladys Monreal, Carl Larsen, Michael Myers, and Barbara Christensen. All received finisher medals for their accomplishment.
