Schmidt and Busby take the Hospice Half titles home to Tallahassee

After a four-year run of annual races from 2011 to 2014, the Hospice Half Marathon was absent from the South Georgia racing calendar in 2015. But the race returned to Dasher, Georgia on Saturday morning, 27 February 2016, and Roger Schmidt of Capital City Runners starred in the comeback. The Tallahassee, Florida athlete took three-and-a-half minutes off the event record, winning the 13.1-mile race in 1:17:14. Making it a Tallahassee sweep, Anna Busby won the women's title, finishing tenth overall with a 1:32:31.


Roger Schmidt was the first athlete to break 80:00 at the Hospice Half Marathon, but less than three minutes after he crossed the finish line he was no longer the Dasher race's only sub-80:00 performer. Nick Graves, a Georgia Tech computer science student, ran 1:19:52, placing second. Another Atlanta-based runner, Georgia Tech student Gautam Sowda, took third in 1:21:00. Jeremy Storey of Valdosta, Georgia was the top master in the race, placing twelfth overall in 1:33:45.


Sarah Ecker was second in the women's standings, finishing eighteenth overall in 1:43:43, while Angela Rao was third on the women's side, ninteenth overall in 1:47:23. Valdosta's Martha Mazurkiewicz was the top woman master and fourth female finisher, coming in 24th overall in 1:51:17.


56 athletes finished the 2016 Hospice Half Marathon. The race benefits the patients and families cared for by Hospice of South Georgia and the Langdale Hospice House. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia provided timing and finish line services.

Monds and Graves win Quitman's first Winter Four

FourFour-mile races aren't unheard of in distance running. In Valdosta, Georgia the annual Four-Mile Run For Missions goes back to 2012. In Tallahassee, Florida the first Springtime Road Race in 1976 was a four-mile run. Daytona Beach, Florida's annual Easter Beach Run has been a four miler since 1968, nearly half a century.


The Quitman, Georgia Four Seasons Four Mile tries to go those events one better by being a quarterly race--four times a year instead of one. It's all about the number four.


Quitman master runner David Monds won the first Four Seasons race on Saturday morning, 27 February 2016--the Winter Four Mile. Monds covered the 6437 meter course in 29:07, finishing more than 160 meters ahead of the next runner. Thomasville, Georgia's Gareth Pyle took second in 29:53. Master runner Warren Williford of Grovetown, Georgia was third in 33:19.


On the women's side, Valdosta master runner Lisa Graves took the top spot, finishing fifth overall in 37:52. Amy Reese, another Valdosta master runner, was second in the women's standings, placing eighth overall in 39:28. Quitman's LeAnna Pledger was the third female finisher, coming in ninth overall in 41:16.


36 athletes finished Quitman's first Four Seasons Four Mile. Many "first annual" races never see a second event, and quarterly races are iffy as well. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare started a quarterly series of 5K races in 2015, but ended up canceling the summer run. If all goes well for Quitman, though, the Spring Four Mile will be on 14 May 2016, the summer four mile on 6 August 2016, and the autumn four mile on 19 November 2016.
