Duane Evans and Georgina Hernandez gave 'em the runaround at Chattahoochee's River Runaround

Built on the bluffs overlooking the Flint and Apalachicola Rivers, Chattahoochee, Florida is 60 feet above sea level at its lowest and more than 250 feet above sea level at its highest. With that kind of topography, you'd think that any five-kilometer race you ran in that small town would feature a lot of up and down. But the athletes in the inaugural Chattahoochee River Runaround 5K on Saturday morning, 17 May 2025, were treated to a course that was almost level. Hugging the shore of the rivers, the Runaround so effectively avoided Chattahoochee's hills that the main challenge facing the field was the distance of the race. Master runner Duane Evans met that challenge best, covering the course in a winning 20:56. Georgina Hernandez was the first woman in the race, placing fifth overall in 23:29.


Master runner Richard Reesor took the runner-up spot, running 22:19. Thirteen-year-old Ian Bryner was third in 22:28.


Megan Orcutt was the first woman master and second female finisher, coming in sixth overall in 23:47. Hillary Powell took third in the women's standings, placing seventh overall in 24:20.


89 athletes finished the 2025 Chattahaoochee River Runaround 5K. Ultimate Racing, Inc., of Saint Augustine, Florida timed and scored the race.
