Hansel Lucas from Brookville also completed the longest distance in each of the legs of the Sinnemahone Triple Crown.

Siver crown participants selected shorter distances in at least one of the three events.

 The race grew by 20% this year and has reached pre-covid levels. “It was exhilarating seeing past participants return including those that either lived here and moved or own a season residence in Cameron County,” said Cameron County Chamber of Commerce executive director, Tina Solak. Those participants included a husband and wife team from Texas, Beth and Doug Argot who own a seasonal residence. Returning from California was a mother son duo Nancy and Eric Vierhaus. This is the 11th year for the race which is used to promote local businesses who provide the awards and swag for the events.
