One of the other events that the BAA did on Sunday, April 18, was the BAA 5k. Lots of folks who did not qualify for the marathon, or who just wanted a fun race in downtown Boston before the marathon! The field dealt with Mother Nature, who, while she did not throw snow at the field, she did produce cold rain! Congrats to Josh Cox, who won the men’s race in 14:31, and Jennifer Campbell, who won the women’s race in 16:52, breaking the women’s course record by 44 seconds! Nearly 5,000 runners ran the windy BAA 5k (temperature was in the mid 40s).
