Clinton Community College B-rrry Scurry 4-Mile Run participants were blessed with a sunny, 42-degree day for the 42nd annual event on Saturday, February 4 2023. The 397 runners and walkers took to the course at noon, for the annual event that raises funds for the Paul B. Sharar Foundation B-rrry Scurry Scholarship program. Participants from “almost 3” through age 85 were happy Mother Nature gave a reprieve from the recent brutal cold temps. The B-rrry Scurry record for coldest temperature was set in 1996, when the mercury dipped to 15 degrees below zero, with wind chill at 55 degrees F below zero.
Winner of the male division was Devin Allbaugh of Bettendorf, IA, with a new course record of 19:18. (The previous men’s record holder was Bryan Glass of Springfield, IL, with time of 20:15 set in 2005.) Winner of the female division was Brooke Sweeney-Adrian, also of Bettendorf, in a time of 27:39. (Olivia Dietzel holds the women’s record, with a time of 23:08 set in 2022.)
Winners Allbaugh and Sweeney-Adrian are flanked by mascots B-rrry Bear and B-rrronda Bear.
