FRYEBURG — In its debut, the Fryeburg Five Miler had somewhat of a surprise ending.

The loop course traversed country roads and finished on the 2.5-mile section of the Mountain Division Rail Trail. Runners loved the vehicle free course and have marked it on their calendar for next year.

Current Fryeburg Academy track star, Eric Hannes, surprised former Raider great, Silas Eastman, in the race for overall winner. Former FA student athlete, Kyla Welch, now Kyla Brustin, won the women’s overall title.

In an interesting footnote, former Fryeburg Academy cross country and track star from 60 years ago, Bob Payne, took second place honors in his age group.

Kids had a great time in their race with lollipops and medals to all finishers.

The race benefited the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams at Fryeburg Academy. Special thanks to Judy Reilly, race director; Pat Hannes and Loraine Tilney at the finish line; Dave Kinsman, race pacer on his bike; and Dr. Bob Tilney, who followed the field in his car for a safe finish for all.
