"Vince Molosky was leading when I last saw the runners," I offered. I failed to mention that when I last saw the runners, they had only covered the first 200 meters of twenty kilometers.
The lead cyclist emerged from the woods, and we spotted the first runners, Jay Wallace. He shouted something at us as he went by, and then turned back into the woods to make another descent toward Lake Iamonia.
"Something about 'off course,'" said Jay.
"No one could go off course in this race," proclaimed Gordon. "I have it too well marked."
I glanced over toward the Beadel House and saw a lone runner wandering near the registration area. "Isn't that Vince Molosky?"
"Yeah, I think that's Vince," said Jay. "He's off course."
"How could anyone get lost on this course?" howled Gordon, dashing off to intercept the stray runner. "How could anyone get lost on this course?"
The Pine Run 20K was held on the International Paper Company's Southland Experimental Forest annually from 1977 to 2006, after which International Paper announced that it was selling the property. Gulf Winds Track Club and Tall Timbers Research Station revived the event in 2008 on Tall Timbers' property north of Lake Iamonia; this was the second running of the revived race.
