Held in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in western Loudoun County, Virginia, the 27th annual Bluemont Fair 10K welcomed seventy-five participants to the town of Bluemont on the bright morning of Saturday 17 September 2005. Temperatures in the low 70°s were a bit warmer than would've been preferred, but at least the runners weren't facing vicious winds (as in 2004) or a hurricane-damaged course (as in 2003 and 2004).

Although there weren't as many young speedsters as usual in this year's men's field, there was certainly a tight battle for the lead for much of the race. 60-year-old Jason Page was closely shadowed by 43-year-old Mark Neff as they made their way around the rolling 6.2 mile course. The tough uphill topography of the race's final two miles finally broke the deadlock, with Neff remaining strong and Page dropping off the pace. Neff, of Derwood, MD, strode across the finish line in 38:21, with Page hanging on for second in 39:24. With Neff and Page taking the two overall awards, the Masters and Senior Masters prizes were snatched up by McLean's Mark Wolff (43:28) and Leesburg's Carnell Bowman (46:18), respectively.

Bluemont's own Tracy Webster, 37, is seen more frequently at triathlons, but she showed off her running abilities with a 45:43 overall women's win. Her nearest female competitor, Stephens City's Stacey Ellis, 26, wound up finishing over three minutes back. But Ellis was still able to hold off 2004 Bluemont champ Mary Smith to earn second overall in 48:57. The women's Masters and Senior Masters awards went to two runners from nearby Round Hill, both making their Bluemont Fair 10K debuts in those categories. Kathy Klimek, 40, got the Masters prize in 50:40, while Debby Rosel, 50, took the Senior Masters title in 51:09.

Thank you to race directors Raylene Scott and Tom Ashton, along with volunteers David & Carter Black, Colleen Snyder, Glenn Luttrell, Myron Kremer, Francis Ashton, Irv Snyder, Bill Poindexter, and Mary Marks. Hopefully we'll see everyone next year at the 28th annual Bluemont Fair 10K on Saturday 16 September 2006!
