Baraboo, WI - Cadet Airman Gabriel Hesed finished strong in the Aldo Leopold 5k run held at Devil's Lake State Park, Saturday, October 25. The 12-year-old finished with a time of 38:15 on a hilly 5K course (actually measured at 4 miles) that included a demanding 588 ft climb in the first 2K. He placed first in the boys 11-12 age group, sixth place for all males, and eighth place overall. The race is part of Great Lakes Endurance, an organization that coordinates trail running events in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin. Proceeds from the race support environmental education programs at the Aldo Leopold Foundation and the River Crossing School in Portage, Wisconsin. The race also supports local farmers and food producers by purchasing all food locally. Gabriel is a member of the ColSac composite Squadron along with his brother Jonathan.
