SOAP LAKE - Avid runners from around the Columbia Basin converged on Soap Lake over the holiday weekend for Ulbfit's Sparkler Sprint.

The race was divided between a 1 mile and a 5k. Due to construction, the 1 mile course had to be adjusted slightly which made for an actual course length of 1.12 miles.

Eric Olson took first place in the mile with a time of 6 minutes, 15.4 seconds. He was followed by Seth and Ella Olson who finished in second and third respectively.

Holly Wise and Lowgen Bennett rounded out the top five finishers.

Pat Kenworthy left with a win in the 5k after recorded a time of 18 minutes, 0.9 seconds.

Derek Wolf and Mykala Seresun followed in second and third place. Nate Blanchard finished fourth and Mark Kruegen finished fifth.
