The theme on race-day morning was "Christmas in July," as Christmas carols blared from speakers around the grounds of Blakely United Methodist Church, the site of the start and finish of the 17th Crowdis 5K. Signs around the course read "Think Snow" and "Merry Crowdis to All!" There may have been something to it, because temperatures that morning were slightly lower than average for midsummer--good news for the 88 athletes in the field.
It was the second year of the revival of the Dr. James H. Crowdis 5K, which was run annually 15 times from 1981 to 1995 and now twice from 2012 to 2013 for a total of 17. During that history, the Crowdis Run has been held in March, May, September, and now July. Watch the calendar carefully if you want to catch the 18th Crowdis 5K in 2014!
