Gibson, Chalmers rout rivals in River Run 10K

Myles GibsonFinishing the race with a lead of almost 400 meters, Donalsonville, Georgia master runner Myles Gibson won the Bainbridge Kiwanis ninth annual River Run 10K in Bainbridge, Georgia's Earle May Park on Saturday morning, 19 January 2013. Gibson's ran the 6.2-mile course in 37:18. The first woman finisher was Juanita Chalmers of Tallahassee; Chalmers placed 11th overall in 46:07. Another Tallahassee athlete, Julie Clark, was the first female master in the race, finishing 23rd overall in 53:13. In a concurrent 5K race, Bainbridge High School cross-country standout Chase Harris took the title with a course-record run of 17:14. Tallahassee lawyer Sheryl Rosen set a women's course record in the 5K, taking the women's title in 19:00.


StartIt was a chilly morning along the Flint River when over 100 athletes assembled in Earle May Park for the races. They started at 8:00 AM. By the end of the first mile, Myles Gibson was leading the 10K field, with Mickey Moore and Eric Bernard trailing him by half a minute. About halfway through the race Moore shook off Bernard, taking sole possession of second. By then, though, Gibson had widened his lead to over a minute. Gibson further opened the gap during the second half of the race, going on to win in 37:18. Tallahassee master runner Mickey Moore was runner-up in 38:54, with Eric Bernard taking third in 41:08.


Juanita ChalmersJuanita Chalmers also took command of her race early, ending the first mile more than half a minute ahead of the next woman in the 10K, Tallahassee's Martha Bademan. Chalmers added another half minute to that margin during the second mile, and continued to pull away at about the same rate for the rest of the race. At the finish line Chalmers was over 700 meters ahead, beating Bademan 46:07 to 49:48. Shrugging off some early challengers, Tallahassee's Julie Clark was the third female finisher and the first woman master, running 53:13.


62 runners completed the 10K.
