It was another hot day for the 112 runners of the second stage of the Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race. Following a tough 22-mile run on Lookout Mountain yesterday, Saturday's course gave the runners another challenge as they maneuvered Raccoon Mountain’s single track trails comprised of rolling hills and numerous zigzags.

Yesterday's winner, Josh Wheeler, returned on Saturday and turned out a 2:07:25 for the 18 mile course. Eric Charette of Huntsville finished second in 2:19:25 and Matt Sims of Signal Mountain, last year’s overall race winner, finished third in 2:20:36. Local master’s runner Lee Simril finished in 2:31:43.

In the women’s division Roxanne Zobava of Atlanta ran a 2:37:31. Yesterday’s stage winner, Robin Meagher of Gwinnet, Georgia finished second in 2:41:23 and last year’s Master’s female winner, Floridian Lisa Purul ran a 2:48:06. Robin Meagher is the first place women for the two stages.

The final stage of the three-day event begins at 8 a.m. Sunday at the soccer fields behind Nolan School at Shackleford Ridge Road on Signal Mountain. Sunday's race will be the most technically challenging yet. Although the 20 mile course is shorter than the first day on Lookout Mountain, runners will run some of the toughest trails in the area.
