McPherson and Floyd champs at the 38th annual Winston Howell Road Race

Winston HowellFinishing the race almost 600 meters ahead of the next runner, Adam McPherson won the Winston Howell 5K Road Race on Saturday morning, 12 March 2016, in Hartford, Alabama. McPherson covered the 3.1-mile course in 18:56. Kimberly Floyd was the women's champ, placing tenth overall in 25:10. 62 athletes finished the race.


Henry Walter took second in the 5K, running 21:28. Close behind Walter, Garrett Keller was third in 21:36. Mark McCarra was the fastest master runner in the race, finishing fifth in 22:20.


Sandy Turner was the top woman master and second female finisher, 21st overall in 28:52. Codi Clemons was third in the women's standings, placing 25th overall in 30:02.


The Winston Howell Road Race was first held in Hartford in 1979. The 1980 United States Census reported that a year later there were 2,648 people living in Hartford. The most recent Census in 2000 found that the city had 2,369 residents. The population didn't change much, and the Winston Howell Road Race continued each year. But that first race in 1979 was a 10K, and so were the next 35. Then in 2015 a 5K was added to the program. In 2016 the 5K continued, but the 10K was dropped. The second-oldest 10K road race in South Alabama was gone.


Whatever the future of the Winston Howell Road Race, the 2016 race was sponsored by the Hartford Civic Club, with proceeds benefiting Hartford Boy Scout Troop 32.
