Myles Gibson has a record Run For The Ranch in Moultrie

The long race at the Moultrie, Georgia Run For The Ranch is 10K, 10,000 meters. On Saturday morning, 21 April 2018, things were going well for Donalsonville master runner Myles Gibson in that long race. Or at least they were going well for the first 9,600 meters. With the finish line nearly in sight, Gibson was leading the race by almost 3,000 meters. Then things went wrong.


"My left calf pulled real sharp with 400 meters remaining," reported Gibson.


Nevertheless, Gibson made it to the end, winning the third annual Run For The Ranch 10K in 38:38. It was faster than the 38:42 he had clocked seven weeks earlier at the Bainbridge River Run 10K. It was also more than two minutes better than the previous Run For The Ranch 10K record, set in 2017 by Colin Prinsloo. Mary Sue Thompson of Moultrie was the top woman in the race, placing third overall in 53:43.


Moultrie's Jason Pittman was runner-up in the 10K, posting a 53:17. Valdosta, Georgia master runner Rodney Elam was the third male finisher and fifth overall in 57:21.


Just ahead of Elam, Laura Little of Doerun, Georgia was the second woman in the race, placing fourth overall in 57:18. Whitney Pilgrim of Moultrie took third in the women's standings and seventh overall in 58:55. Tammy Curran of Tifton, Georgia was the first woman master and fifth female finisher, ninth overall in 61:25.


Eleven athletes finished the 2018 Run For The Ranch 10K.

Gregory and Solomon win at the Run To Remember 10K

If you're looking for a 10K road race in Southwest Georgia, you should probably start by looking in Moultrie. Other towns have more races, and some even have a ten kilometer race. Thomasville, in particular, can boast of the Rose City Run, the oldest 10K in its region of the state. Moultrie, however, has more 10K races than any other town in this corner of Georgia. Considering that the population of Moultrie isn't quite 15,000 it's likely that the city has more 10K events per capita than any other town in the state. On 15 April 2017 the city hosted the Run For The Ranch 10K. On 16 September 2017 the Moultrie YMCA Superhero 10K (formerly the Race of the South) comes to the streets of the city. And between the two, on Saturday morning, 12 August 2017, Sha Missions' sixth annual Run To Remember 10K was contested in Moultrie.

Case Gregory, an eighth-grader on the Colquitt County Middle School cross-country team, won the 6.2-mile Run To Remember by almost half a kilometer, running 46:44. Moultrie's Tyler Dismuke finished runner-up in 49:11, and Joey Bozeman of Coolidge, Georgia took third in 49:54. Tifton, Georgia athlete Jody Jordan was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fifth overall in 52:18.


Laura Solomon of Nashville, Georgia took the women's title, placing sixth overall in 53:41.


Fifteen athletes finished the 2017 Run To Remember 10K.
