Laura Keaton lived in Alabama before moving to Manitou Springs three years ago. Though she may have migrated here from the flat lands, she has acquired a taste for Colorado's steep grades. Keaton won the tough Run to the Shrine 10K on Saturday at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, ascending 1,400 feet in about five miles before making the turn to charge a final mile down hill for the win. She clocked 55:33, a few strides ahead of second-place Ilana Cobban (55:34.) It was Keaton's first win in a citizens' race.
