When Valdosta's Masked Avenger crossed the finish line of the 2010 Blazer Corps 5K, runner-up Dennis Gardner still had over 400 meters left to run. That's the kind of margin of victory that the Avenger enjoyed in beating Gardner 18:01 to 19:45 in the 13 November 2010 race through the streets of Valdosta. Angel Godwin was not quite as far ahead of her rivals in the women's division, but she still was the fastest woman finisher, placing 10th overall in 23:32. Not far behind, Jonelle Jimison (11th, 23:48), Emily Crews (12th, 23:50), and Kim Peters (13th, 23:51) fought a close battle for second. The top master in the race was Valdosta's Bob Moon, who ran 24:57 for 16th. The fastest woman master of the morning was Beth Ford (23rd, 27:36).The Blazer Corps 5K is an annual event of Valdosta State University's Air Force ROTC Detachment 172. Proceeds from the race go to benefit the United Service Organization (USO). At 36 finishers, the size of the field was considerably smaller than last year, when 91 runners completed the race.
