Jennings and Monk are the rapidest River Runners in Bainbridge

USMC Captain Richard Jennings raced to a huge win at Bainbridge's first road race of 2011, the seventh annual Kiwanis River Run 10K on Saturday morning, 8 January 2011. Last October Jennings had finished 16th at the 2010 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC, running the 26.2-mile race in 2:36:20. Jennings time of 33:55 put him over three minutes ahead of Pauncho Hufstetler, runner-up for the second year in a row at 37:15. Chase Harris of Bainbridge's Grace Christian Academy placed third in 38:55, while the top master runner was Mike Simmons, fourth overall in 44:51.


For the second straight year Jessica Monk was the class of the women's field, successfully defending her 2010 title with a 49:15 effort. It was over a two-minute improvement on her winning time last year of 51:20. The top woman master was women's runner-up Julie Harris of Bainbridge, 12th overall in 51:15.

The races both started along the Flint River at Bainbridge's Earle May Boat Basin. The 5K stops after touring a campground and the part of a paved nature trail, but the 10K continued on to Cheney Griffin Park, climbed a steep hill to briefly visit downtown Bainbridge, and then back downhill before returning to Earle May Boat Basin and the finish line. The 10K course is certified by USA Track & Field (USATF #GA05001WC).

    LOL I wish I could claim a 38:25 10K last year. Maybe it was O'Neill? But thanks for the vote of confidence!!! :-) :-)

    Paula,

    I just cleverly used the same label for the 5K results and the 10K results. It was easy enough to fix (which begs the question of why I didn't do it last year).

    Thanks!

    Herb.
