Bainbridge, Georgia's Kyle Harris eked out a late win at the Missionette 5K in Cairo, Georgia on Saturday, 15 May 2010, narrowly defeating Tallahassee Brian Corbin 18:10 to 18:12. Corbin was the top master in addition to being the runner-up in the race. The next runner over the line in the 5K was Kyle's younger brother, Chase Harris, at 20:16. Their mother, Julie Harris, was first woman and the top woman master, finishing seventh overall in 24:45. While the 5K seemed to be all about the Harrises, Angelina Horne of Pelham, Georgia won the 10K in 43:17. Chris Holt of Ochlocknee, Georgia was runner-up and top male at 46:40, and Tallahassee's Judy Alexander at third overall was the top woman master with a time of 47:58. Kurt LaRose of Tallahassee was the top male master, fourth overall in 49:20.
Kyle Harris had run the 10K at the 2009 Missionette Extraordinary races, finishing a distant second to Tallahassee legend Jessie Close, 36:13 to 38:55. This time around, Harris decided to try the shorter distance. He followed Corbin out onto the rolling 5K course, trailing at the mile and farther behind at two miles. Harris came back late in the race, though, and outkicked Corbin in the closing steps of the race.Now in their fourth year, the Missionette Extraordinary runs benefit the Missionette girls' club of Cairo, Georgia. The course are both USATF certified and take the runners on a hilly tour of the country in and around Cairo.
