San Quentin volunteer Diana Fitzpatrick became a repeat winner in the Dipsea Race in nearby Mill Valley.
Fitzpatrick volunteers with the prison’s 1000 Mile Track Club. She finished the 7.5-mile Dipsea on June 8 in actual time of 1:03:21. Her clock time with a 16-minute handicap was 47:21.
“Winning the Dipsea is the highlight for my career and life,” said Fitzpatrick. “Running is so much about community, and we’re all in the same family when it comes to running.”
Also finishing the race were paroled former San Quentin and 1000 Mile members Ronnie Goodman, Alton McSween, Bill Pillars and Angel Gutierrez. Their actual times were 1:15:31, 2:26:08, 1:56:01 and 1:18:07, respectively.
