The course started at the Augusta Commons, worked its way through Summerville and Lake Olmstead before coming to an end right where the race started.
Winning runners of both the men’s and women’s division were each awarded a check. Jacob Burgamy and Laura Matthews walked away with $500. Burgamy is also the cross country and track & field coach at Augusta University.
