A beautiful day made up for last year's rain/snow mix and brought out a record crowd to the Mutt Strutt this year. Chris Howard and Cinder led the way over the 3-mile course in 19:21. Ed McSweeney with Roxy and Bruce Linton with Noah were in close pursuit. Fourth overall and topping the women's chart was the team of Dot Martin and Kona, who have run this race many times and won outright in 1999. Hannah Spitz (8th overall) and Lisa Kingsbury (10th overall) were second and third for the women. Tim Noonan and Gus continued their unbroken string, having competed in all seven Mutt Strutts, but after winning 3 times including 2001 and 2002, they were back in the pack this year. Is it the end of a dynasty?
We express our sincere gratitude to our faithful longstanding sponsors: Onion River Animal Hospital, Julio's Mexican Restaurant, Guy's Farm and Yard, House Mouse Designs, and K.C.'s Bagels for the prizes and refreshments. Thanks also to the volunteers -- Eric Ryea, Pavel Cherkasov, Andrea Donlon, Mitchell Stupp, and an unidentified male volunteer who helped at the finish. And a special thanks to Michael Chernick for filling in for Donna Smyers on race day. Thanks finally to the human-canine teams. Your entry fees and additional contributions made possible a donation of over $300 to the Central Vermont Humane Society. See you again next year!
Donna Smyers and Jamie Shanley, Race Directors
