Shoutout to Action Wheels Bike Shop owner Scott Effting for supporting us this year at RunSpringa!

Scott raced with us each week, reminding us of that Fall season podium place he earned and that even in a hella freezing winter, you can still ride bikes. Scott threw us a curveball on the final night by not racing, and thanks to double-double points, he was knocked off the podium, which gave us a fun finale for year one.

Everyone who got stuff on the podiums for cross and double cross, thank Scott! And go visit the shop to get a sick Cannondale or whatever you need!

Shoutout to Bright Path Brewing for keeping you hydrated and happy post-race at RunSpringa!

The small craft brewery is based in Jim Thorpe, PA. Owner Alex Franko does trail running and rides, so he knows a thing or two about hanging out after a good Thursday night. Bright Path hosts a run club on Friday evenings all summer, so head up there to give them some love and check out the tap room.

We're pretty proud of our Overall podiums. They're truly Overall, and this year we had two women on it for the 5k series. Megan Chesney in 3rd and Kristen Roosa-Beck taking the title in 5th place. And yes, they are also on the women's specific podium, taking 1st and 2nd.

For all of our series races, we hold the same podium protocols, and we'll do the same for Fifth Street Summer Camp events in August.

Shoutout to Grillmaster Phil for the excellent grilled apple crisp!

We sure are lucky to have such a rad community. Whether it's simply grilling the burgers and dogs we bring, making custom desserts, or getting more extravagant, we love it. Thanks to everyone who chipped in this Spring!

RunSpringa 5th place overall was initially between just three. But then Jerry Stewart was walking his dog and all of a sudden it was between four. Jerry Stewart ended up between in 3rd and Kristen Roosa-Beck () in 5th for the overall.

So here's the crazy stuff.
🐰 Jerry and Megan tied on points but because Megan placed ahead of Jerry on the final race, Megan is given the higher place for third.
🐰 .bros was in second, but he left so we did some math and found that desserts are actually bonus points and missing the podium is negative points. 🤷‍♂️
🐰 The autocorrect on my phone always changes "bonus" to "bunnies" thanks to RunSpringa, so now extra points are referred to as Bunnies Points

2026 RunSpringa Overall
5th 🏆 Kristen Roosa-Beck 132
4th Jerry Stewart 138
3rd Megan Chesney 138
2nd 156 (dessert bonuses)
1st Devan Bicher 167
