Rocket City 10K: Lisa Harris Rules the F70-74 Field

• Lisa Harris won the F70-74 age group in 1:24:05, averaging 13:32 per mile.
• Mary Moran finished 2nd in 1:32:34, averaging 14:54 per mile.
• The margin between them: 8 minutes and 29 seconds.

Just two women lined up in the F70-74 age group at the 2024 Rocket City 10K, but they both got it done on a mild December morning in Huntsville — 59°F, a light breeze, and overcast skies that kept the sun off their backs.

Lisa Harris, 70, set the pace from the start and never let up, crossing the line in 1:24:05 at a steady 13:32 per mile. That's a composed, controlled effort for any age, and at 70 it's genuinely impressive. She took the age group win without drama, letting the clock do the talking.

Mary Moran, 71 — a year older than the winner — came through in 1:32:34, running 14:54 per mile. The 8:29 gap between them is real, but Moran's completion of a 10K at 71 is its own story worth noting. Both women called Huntsville home, and both showed up and ran their race on a Saturday morning when plenty of people didn't.

Short field, clean result. Harris wins F70-74, Moran takes 2nd, and the F70-74 age group at Rocket City 2024 is in the books.
