Broome and Harris win Legacy

Starting from Legacy Park in Albany, Georgia, 148 runners set out to race around the streets of Albany on Saturday, 26 March 2011. It was the Legacy Run For Life 5K, and the first to the finish line was Trey Broome of Leesburg, Georgia, who covered the course in 17:35, just five seconds ahead of the runner-up, Bill Fricks of Albany. The top master runner in the race was Albany's Lucius Burch, who finished seventh overall in 18:38.


The fastest woman of the morning was Stephanie Harris of Dawson, Georgia; Harris ran 20:38 to place 16th overall. Just eight seconds behind Harris, Albany's Cindy Dominey was the second woman finisher and the top woman master; her 20:46 was good enough to put her 20th in the overall standings. Dominey was racing less than five weeks after finishing the "26.2 With Donna" National Breast Cancer Marathon in Jacksonville, and not quite three weeks after completing the Snickers® Half Marathon in Albany. Her performance certainly didn't suffer by being in a much shorter race.


An inaugural event hosted by Sherwood Baptist Church, the race was a benefit for the Alpha Pregnancy Center.
