Sturgeon Shuffle draws 400-plus participants
5K, 10K winners named
Despite cooler temperatures and last-minute course revisions due to wet conditions, the ninth annual Sturgeon Shuffle 10K Run and 5K Run/Walk went off without a hitch Saturday, April 27.
Seventy-seven runners competed in the 10K event. Timothy Hartzke of Ogdensburg took first place in the Male Division with a time of 37:26.
Shelly Gruszynski of Sherwood crossed the finish line with a time of 46:08 to win the 10K Female Division.
A total of 362 entrants competed in the 5K. Ben Kirmse of Iola finished with a time of 18:26 to win the Male Division.
Fourteen-year old Macy Verhasselt of Freedom won the Female Division with a time of 21:40.
The Sturgeon Shuffle Committee presented checks totaling $14,000 in donations to three nonprofit backpack organizations: Project Backpack New London ($8,500); Project Backpack Waupaca, serving western Waupaca County ($4,500); and Rapids Family Backpacks, serving Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools ($1,000).
The organizations coordinate with schools to provide backpacks of food to students on weekends during the school year.
First State Bank is the presenting sponsor of the Sturgeon Shuffle. More than 40 businesses and organizations from across the area supported the Sturgeon Shuffle in 2019.
The following are complete results for the 10K races and the top 50 finishers for the 5K races by gender. Full race results can be found on the Sturgeon Shuffle website.
