Avenue Q (Quarryman) -- Take 2!

This time, the men's times are correct.
The Quarryman 10-miler in Lemont produced some terrific results on Saturday. I couldn't recognize the strong efforts until now because I was out of town. First, kudos to Bridget Montgomery and Emisael Favela of Chicago for their wins in 1:03:02 and 53:21 respectively.
On the men's side, Deerfield's Chad Ware, winner of the Ravenswood 5K, was second in 54:25, and Jason Olszowka of downstate Greenville was third in 54:55. Following Montgomery in the women's race were Pam Blair of Chicago in 1:04:48, and Emily DeWald of Bloomington, winner of the recent Lake Run in that city, with a 1:06:16.
I have not run this race, but for three years now, I've been told it's very good. Anyone have any comments on it?

Really nice race, and the three hills are a true challenge. Much steeper than what you get, say, at March Madness. And then there's three of'em.

Oops! Sorry about the inaccurate initial post. I was in a stupor after seven hours of driving. Sorry . . . . . I have corrected the men's times.

Great race :) I second Dirk regarding the steep hills - this is definitely a race for runners who love a good challenge (and some post-race burning quads!).
