Huron Expositor, 2001-09-19, Page 1212 -TME HURON EXPOSITOR, septa s. 19, 2001 Sports Seaforth runners are first -place women's team in ioo-K `extreme' race Sy Susan Hundsrtmark Expositor Staff Five Seaforth-area women ran through gravel pits, along river flats and even through rivers to train for a 100 - kilometre "extreme" race this summer in Hell, Michigan called Dances With Dirt. And, while their neighbours thought they were a little crazy while training, they were the first - place female team of the event on Sept. 8. "It was quite an event and a lot of fun. It was sort of like a glorified car rally," says Faye Murray, who ran the race along with Lynn Devereaux, Darlene Williams, Bonnie O'Reilly and Wendy Currie. Murray says it took nine hours and 45 minutes to complete the race, during which each of the five team members had to run five legs. Each three to five -and - a -half -mile leg was through bush or swamp and in between each leg, the team had to jump into a vehicle and drive the next runner to the next checkpoint. "Some of the trails were marked but a lot of them weren't and you had to run over trees and under trees," says Murray. "Lynn had the worst leg through the swamp. She got up to her thighs in the swamp and a guy had to pull her out. Another big guy got stuck in the swamp and two guys had to pull him out," she says. Of the 275 teams, most of whom were from Ontario From left, Lynn Devereaux, Bonnie O'Reilly, Faye Murray, Wendy Currie and Darlene Williams pose with their medals after their race in Hell, Michigan. and Michigan, which started the race, only 244 finished and the Seaforth team, calling themselves the "Steel -Plated Sports Bras," came 39th overall. Murray says many of the teams were composed of men or mixed genders and most were younger runners. "We got quite a good handicap for being all female and having a lot of members over 40. There weren't a lot of women in the race and most of them were younger than us," she says. Both Murray and Devereaux speni some time lost in the bush. While Devereaux had to team up with other runners to find the markers, which had been sabotaged, Murray found herself running half a mile too far out of the way. Some sections of the trails were really dirty but most trails had rivers to run through, so Murray says runners were able to clean off in the river. Also most trails had many hills going through the bush. "None of us got hurt but you could have easily sprained an ankle, the terrain was so rough," she says. Billed as the "longest and most gruelling running event in the Midwest," Dances With Dirt is called "one of the 12 most difficult trail running events in the world," by Trail Runner magazine. Run for the fifth year this year, the event warns competitors they will be "scratched, bruised and at times lost in this insane terrain." But, the first place Seaforth team, who each won a new pair of running shoes for their effort, say they'll be competing again next year to defend their title.
