More than 420 runners congregated Saturday morning at the chapel of the outdoors in the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve.

Each of the bright-eyed pacers put their best foot forward in the 41st Annual Run The Streets Woolaroc 8K event.

The course wound through much of the scenic backdrop of the historic facility, a turnaround point at the front gate.

Archer Bennett — who finished 2nd at last weekend's Woolaroc 8K — is shown running a few years ago. He captured the Class 6A boys 800m run state title during his senior year at Bartlesville High. He has gone on to run for the University of Tulsa and was selected for the conference All-Academic team.

Edmond’s Collin McHugh blazed to the fastest time (28:37), followed by former Bartlesville High/University of Tulsa distance harrier Archer Bennett (29:28). McHugh and Bennett were the lone runner to break 30 minutes. Bennett also is a former high school state champion in the 800m run.

Tulsa’s Ryan Fischer rounded out the top three (30:38).

Bartlesville’s Jessica Barr sped to the top female time (35:01), followed by Bartlesville High cross country runner Maryann Alvey (37:14) and Tulsa’s Elizabeth Menger (40:34).

Below are the top finishers.

Reports of the age-group winners will appear in segments, due to space, during the several days.
