We surpassed 1,000 registrants earlier this week. I would say, we are at about 1,200 runners and walkers now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event is overseen each year by the Athletic Division of the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe start planning for this event in November,\u201d Boysha said. \u201cWe do preliminary setup at Fortera Stadium on Friday, then we come out early Saturday morning and finish the rest. Austin Peay State University and Northcrest Medical Center are two of our signature sponsors. The Clarksville Montgomery County School System and the CMC Coordinated School Health Program are big supporters as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe school system encourages students to participate, and the Coordinated School Health Program provides $2,000 in prizes to the schools who register the most students. Those prizes are awarded based on how many students from each school cross the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trophies are presented to the top male and top female runner at the 5K. Trophies are also given to top finishers in each age group. Everyone who runs receives a medal to commemorate their participation.<\/p>\n<h4>Top Male Finishers<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Triston Gogol<\/strong> \u2013 16:55<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joseph Redman<\/strong> \u2013 18:19<\/li>\n<li><strong>Montana Klingsporn<\/strong> \u2013 19:04<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blake Deterding<\/strong> \u2013 19:30<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Top Female Finishers<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Lisa Carlock<\/strong> &#8211; 20:21<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nikki Edney<\/strong> &#8211; 22:23<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dulce Fuentes<\/strong> \u2013 23:25<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coda Nickle<\/strong> &#8211; 24:35<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All results from Saturday&#8217;s 5K can be found at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musiccityracetiming.com\/race-results.html\" >www.musiccityracetiming.com\/race-results.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; Clarksville&#8217;s 40th Annual Queen City Road Race saw runners and walkers of all ages take to the streets of Downtown Clarksville in spite of relentless heavy rain that lasted throughout Saturday morning.
