First in the Fourth on the Seventh, Kelly and Morse win the 4th annual PCF 5K

Partnership Cancer FundIn 2012 Colin Prinsloo became the first athlete to break 20:00 in Valdosta's Partnership Cancer Fund 5K. In 2013 Ryan Kelly became the first athlete to break 19:00 in Valdosta's Partnership Cancer Fund 5K. The Valdosta Middle School cross-country coach ran an event record of 18:24 in the fourth annual edition of the 3.1-mile race on Saturday morning, 7 September 2013.


After Kelly finished, it was a long stretch till the next runner came in. It was definitely worth the wait, though, because it was the first two females charging toward the finish line within a few feet of each other. In the end ten-year-old Kelsey Morse of the Viking Runners took the title, finishing just ahead of thirteen-year-old Makenzee Page, 21:46 to 21:49. Both athletes bettered the Partnership Cancer Fund 5K women's record of 22:25, set two years earlier by Gretchen Bielmyer.


Valdosta runner Randy Walker was the fastest master runner in the race, finishing fifth overall in 24:56. 50 athletes finished the race, which benefits the Partnership Cancer Fund of the Lowndes County Partnership For Health. The Fund helps Lowndes County cancer patients in need with their non-medical expenses associated with their illness and treatment.
