Cal Coast runners celebrated the return of Southern California's oldest road race, the Balboa Park 8 Miler, on August 7th, 2021. The trio of masters runners who attended the race were excited to participate in their first, true mass-start race in 18 months. 

Dan Derway, Leon Laub, and Kurt Whittington raced against a very competitive field and they came away happy with their results. Kurt was the 2nd overall masters finisher and won his 5-year age group with a time of 49:11.
