Abellera, an alumnus of the Florida State University School cross-country team, led the race almost from the outset, with early challenges by Stephen Robbins and Wil Luca (3rd, 19:37). Luca and Robbins were unable to maintain the pace set by Abellera and fell back. Ronald Penn, running more within himself, passed them mid-race and went on to take second.

Nice race summary, Herb. I had hoped to volunteer at this race but then realized my son was playing his first Pop Warner game ever at the exact same time! This race supports such a great cause; I am glad that it went so well.
ReplyDeleteMaclay Gardens works well for an event of this size, but it can't handle many more runners and their vehicles. If the Fallen Heroes 5K grows, it may have to move again.
