Gibson and Cody celebrate Fat Tuesday with a Fast Saturday

In Dothan, Alabama just about any occasion is an opportunity to hold a 5K trail race on the Larry and Rona Dykes Trail in Westgate Park. Thanksgiving lends a reason for the Pilgrim Chase, high summer the Back To The Beach 5K, and the end of the year inspires the Last Gasp 5K Trail Run. Likewise, on 19 February 2011 the Dothan Runners Club returned to Westgate Park yet again for the Mardi Gras 5K Trail Run.


Myles Gibson of Donalsonville, Georgia ran away with this one, looping around the grass, sand, and gravel of Westgate Park in 18:37 and finishing over half a minute ahead of runner-up Theron Carter. Carter clocked 19:10 for the course. Gibson was also the fastest master runner in the race.


Dothan runner and 2011 Hog Wild 15K champion Dana Cody (8th, 21:14) won big in the women's division, finishing nearly an entire kilometer ahead of her nearest challenger, Dothan's Carolyn Houston (25th, 25:51). Just behind Houston, Jennifer Antonivich (27th, 26:03) finished as the third woman and top woman master.
