2008 IJA Joggling Championship Results
LEXINGTON – Last Tuesday, the attention of the joggling world was turned to Lexington, Kentucky where nearly 40 jogglers participated in the IJA Joggling Championships. The event was held at the Henry Clay High School Track under beautiful sunny skies. You can see a newspaper story about the joggling event here. They even got some of my favorite quotes about joggling in there.
There were some highly competitive races and others, not so much. Here is a breakdown of the results of all the races.

Perry,
Thanks for this great blog. Thanks also for posting these results. We spoke before and throughout the races. I’m the guy that got second to you in the 5-k and was in the “winners” relay team. Thanks for your inspiration and let me know if you need me to answer any questions for you.

Perry,
What great fun! I’m sure you had a ball (pardon the pun). As you stated, running & competing with other jogglers must have been inspiring, not to mention some very interesting conversations. Glad the weather was kind. Marmee
