Former Lewiston High and current Lewis-Clark State distance running standout Connor Turpin added another feather to his cap as he tore to victory with a 6.2-mile time of 32 minutes, 14 seconds on a course spanning from Swallows Park to Hells Gate State Park in the 45th Seaport River Run on Saturday.
This was Turpin’s second consecutive year leading the community event, which drew several hundred participants on a bright, clear morning in the valley. The 22-year-old improved on his 2022 course time by 19 seconds, and led by more than two-and-a-half minutes over the next finisher — Clay Shumaker of Nampa, Idaho, who notched a time of 34:56.
Abby Peightal of Rathdrum, Idaho, headed up women in the 6.2 miles by more than 10 minutes as she clocked in at 42:30.
In a more competitive race on the 2.9-mile “short course,” 29-year-old Cody Holzer of Lewiston outstripped 50-year-old John Hanna of Clarkston 21:11 to 21:25 for the top finish. The top three female finishers all came in a row, with Lewiston’s Erika Knapp, 27, managing a 23:44, 36-year-old fellow Lewiston resident Andrea Joliff following in 24:09, and 15-year-old Lapwai youth Jessa Hartwig just behind her at 24:10.
LIFE, the Lewiston Independent Foundation for Education, was the funding partner for this event, which raises money for a local charity each year.
