Bowlegs 5K Winners, 1985-2009

The Billy Bowlegs 5K "Run For Scholarship" was started in 1985 by Dr. Leitch Wright. After his tragic and untimely death, Bill Hillison and Larry Giunipero took over race director duties in 1987. The 1987 race was billed as the "Wright Run For Scholarship," but after that year the race reverted to its original name. In 2002 the event became a Gulf Winds Track Club race.

The earliest editions of the race were run on a course on Florida State University's main campus (USATF FL88014BH), starting and finishing near Tully Gym. Eventually the directors moved the race to its current location, a course through Innovation Park (USATF FL95008DL) with the start and finish at the Florida A&M University / Florida State University College of Engineering. The Bowlegs 5K has always raised funds for scholarships awarded through the Faculty and Friends Club of FSU.

As best I've been able, I've listed the date, the top male and female overall, the fastest male and female master overall, and the number of recorded finishers. In some years the published results did not include the runners ages, so I wasn't able to determine who fastest masters were. Where possible, though, I always listed the fastest masters, and not who would have been given a masters' trophy based on a no-duplication-of-awards rule. I could argue that this is so later historians can more easily determine the masters records for the events, but it's really just my personal preference.

A big thank you to Rex Cleveland and Fred Deckert for their invaluable help in completing this list.
