Despite the weather the Flathead runners did very well at the Great American Festival. The rain on Friday (over 2 inches) caused a seven hour delay in the start of the races on Saturday. Most of the finish line and starting area were knee deep in water. When the races finally started at 3:00 p.m. the sun was out and it was a great day. Temperatures may have been in the high 70's or low 80's with high humidity. All of our runners gained valuable experience from running in what has to be the premier XC event in the nation.
