Kent and Davis are good to the Last Gasp

Westgate Park Trail, Dothan, AlabamaIn Dothan, Alabama, runners get many chances throughout the year to race on the Larry and Rona Dykes Trail in Westgate Park. Among other chances, there is the Mardi Gras 5K Trail Run in the winter, the Bryan Dowling Memorial 5K Run in the spring, the Life Is A Beach 5K Trail Run in the summer, and the Pilgrim Chase 5K Trail Run in the fall. But as the year winds down, the opportunities run out, and in late December only the last chance of all is left--the annual Last Gasp 5K Trail Run.


In 2012 the Last Gasp came on Saturday morning, December 29. 65 runners took advantage of Dothan's last racing date of the year. After finishing runner-up to Cairo's Stephen Robbins in the 2011 Last Gasp, Northview High senior Sean Kent was victorious in 2012, finishing over 400 meters ahead of the next runner in 17:59. Midland City master runner Jeff Dasinger ran 19:38 to place second, significantly faster than his seventh-place 20:18 that he ran at the previous year's Last Gasp.


Jeanne Davis was the first woman finisher, placing fifth overall in 22:17. A tight race developed for the women's runner-up spot, with Dothan's Jacqueline Sullins edging out Bonifay master runner Val Lichner
24:48 to 24:50. The two runners finished 12th and 13th overall.


After Dothan's last race in 2012, it's natural to wonder about the city's first race in 2013. That will be the 31st annual Hog Wild Run on Saturday afternoon, 26 January 2013, at 2:00 PM CT. After being contested at five miles from 1983 to 2009, the event is now a 15K and a 5K, both staged from the Depot Off Main near downtown Dothan. The course record in the 15K is 58:41, set in the 2012 Hog Wild by Cedric Gillette.

    Red Nose course comes up short, but not Charlie Johnson

    When planning their second annual Red Nose Run, the Thomasville, Georgia Junior Service League did just about everything right. In addition to bringing back the 5K from 2011, they added a half marathon, currently one of the hottest distances on the racing circuit. To make sure that runners would have meaningful performances in the race, they had the half-marathon course USATF certified, assuring that it was an accurate 13.1 miles long. For good measure, the 5K course was also certified.


    But on the morning of the race, Saturday, 15 December 2012, the plans fell short when the competitors were turned around early on the out-and-back half-marathon course, failing to run far enough south on Metcalf Road. The course was accurate, but the athletes didn't run the course.


    As one of the disappointed runners put it, "I ran a twelve-mile half marathon this morning."


    However abbreviated, the long event at Red Nose Run was still a race, and Tallahassee triathlete Charlie Johnson won that race, clocking a 73:51 for whatever the distance was. At 75:14, Drew Rabun of Savannah followed Johnson over the line in the runner-up position, while Tallahassee's Eric Godin was third in 77:21. Fourth place and the top master spot went to Derek Larson of Columbus, Georgia in 80:56. Savannah, Georgia runner Sarah Batt was the first woman as well as the first woman master, placing ninth overall in 83:05. 96 athletes completed the abbreviated half marathon.

    No wrong turns marred the 5K. In a battle of high school distance runners, Leon HS freshman Charlie Lang edged out Thomas County Central HS sophomore Terrence Smith for the win, 21:04 to 21:08. Valdosta master runner Rick Mazurkiewicz was third in 21:11. Another high school distance runner, Maclay School sophomore Lindsey Poole, was the first female finisher in the 5K, running 23:41.
