July 10, 2010 marked the 5th Anniversary running of the Heart&Sole 5k in Valders, Wisconsin. The charity event to benefit Children's Hospital of Wisconsin drew 177 participants. Michael Bubolz, of Reedsville, was the overall winner again for the 5th year in row; his time was 15:46, which was a new course record. Congratulations Michael!
The overall female winner was Shannon Nemetz, of Green Bay, with a time of 20:18, also a new course record. We hope that both Michael & Shannon will return to our race next year to challenge their own records.
