Isaac Gower-Hall who finished fifth overall in a field of 102 runners spoke enthusiastically about the race. “I run in a lot of 5Ks. This race is the most organized of all of them.” Gower-Hall was so excited about this 16th Annual event that he convinced his running club, Haverhill's Elite Track Club, to make the Swinging Bridge race a travel race for the team. ![]() The team took four of the top six finisher’s awards male and female and came in 1st, 2nd, and 4th through 9th overall.
