Trail run
The Wilmington Roadrunners Club held its annual 50-kilometer Gator Trail Run March 29 at Lake Waccamaw State Park, with 25 runners from around the Carolinas, Virginia and even Maine. Clockwise, from top right, Lisa Arnold of Hendersonville, Rick Spencer of Charlotte, and first-place-runner John Mulbury of Fort Bragg checks his watch as he crosses the finish line with his time shown. Cory Dunlap of Jacksonville grabs a quick snack and first-place-female-runner Laura MacLean of Willow Springs is handed a drink with a few more laps to go.
