On Saturday morning, 28 April 2012, Eric Godin clocked 38:48 for 6.2 miles to become the champion at the Ronald McDonald House's inaugural Red Shoes 10K in Tallahassee's Southwood community. Godin finished over 900 meters ahead of the runner-up, Florida A&M University philosophy professor Michael LaBossiere. LaBossiere ran 41:20 to finish as the fastest master in the race. Susan Williams took the top women's spot in the race, placing seventh overall in 46:15. Less than 100 meters back, Lori Abbey was the second woman in and the first woman master, finishing ninth overall in 46:39.The proliferation of road races in the Tallahassee area has reached the point where it's no longer unusual for multiple 5K events to be scheduled on the same day. April 28, though, saw two longer races in the area taking place the same morning, with the new Red Shoes 10K slated to run at the same time as the 35th annual Rose City Run 10K just up US 319 in Thomasville. Nevertheless, Ronald McDonald House was successful in drawing 111 runners to Southwood to finish a first-year 10K.
