Run the Parkway Half Marathon: Kari Redman Dominates the F55-59 Field

• Kari Redman took the F55-59 title in 1:56:36 (8:54/mi), finishing 13th among all women.
• Nicole Mui claimed 2nd in 2:09:12 — a 12:36 gap back — while Linda Powell rounded out the podium in 2:18:44.
• Powell was one of the stronger closers in the group, posting the 27th-fastest women's split on the Mile 10→Finish stretch.
• Six women finished the 13.1 miles on a warm 74°F morning in Folsom.

Kari Redman set the tone from the gun and never let up. Running an 8:54/mi average, she held 13th among all women at every checkpoint — a model of consistency — and backed it with the 13th-fastest women's split on the Mile 4 to Mile 10 stretch, the heart of the course. Her 1:56:36 finish left no doubt in the F55-59 group.

Nicole Mui ran a measured race of her own, moving steadily through the women's field — from 29th at the first check to 26th by the finish — and clocked 2:09:12 at 9:51/mi to secure 2nd. Linda Powell, running 10:35/mi for a 2:18:44 finish, came in 3rd and showed her best work late: her 27th-fastest women's split on the final stretch from Mile 10 to the finish suggests she found another gear when it mattered.

Stephany Sosa crossed in 4th at 2:35:37 (11:52/mi), also making steady progress through the women's field across the second half of the race. Anna Chrissanthis finished 5th in 2:56:42 (13:29/mi), picking up five places among women between Mile 10 and the line. Linda Duran rounded out the six-woman F55-59 field in 3:33:35 at 16:18/mi — more than 35 minutes behind Chrissanthis, but still standing at the finish on a warm November morning.
