It’s a safe bet that the biggest winners at Saturday’s Sound to Narrows won’t finish first.
In fact, it’s quite conceivable that the first person to finish the 5-kilometer race could be in his car and driving home by the time the biggest winners get their first glimpse of the finish line.
But it’s also safe to say that the 40 participants in Pierce County’s Biggest Winner weight-loss challenge don’t really care. They’re already collecting their prize.
“We’ve learned how to make a lifestyle change,” said Claire Talbert, a 31-year-old Tacoma resident. “We’ve learned how to eat better and exercise regularly and we’re losing weight.”
The Sound to Narrows is the climax of the three-month challenge. The competitors weighed in for the 11th and final time Tuesday and the Biggest Winner will be announced at Vassault Park after Saturday’s races.
Read more about the Sound to Narrows and its Biggest Winner subplot this week in The News Tribune's Sports section.
