Striding around the streets of Southwood, Tallahassee master runner Michael Martinez won the Correction Foundation's fourth annual Doggie Dash 5K on Saturday morning, 15 March 2014. Finishing more than 300 meters ahead of the next runners, Martinez covered the 3.1-mile course in 17:39. It was a morning for master runners, as the top four places went to over-40 athletes. Tallahassee's Thomas Konrad was second in 18:56, Crawfordville's Duane Evans was third in 19:27, and Michael LaBossiere of Tallahassee was fourth in 19:39.It took a woman to break the masters' dominance of the top places. Finishing fifth overall in 20:26, the decidedly under-40 Micah Adriani of Tallahassee took the women's title. An even younger Tallahassee runner, Renee Cox, was the women's runner-up, placing ninth overall in 20:26. Tallahassee's Vicky Droze was third in the women's standings, coming in 13th overall in 21:05. Laura Cilek was the fourth woman in, 19th overall in 21:55. Jennifer Shafer was the fifth woman and top woman master in the race, finishing 21st overall in 22:08.
After two years of offering an 8K option, the Doggie Dash returned to its original 2011 format of a single 5K race. This meant that there were fewer total athletes racing, but more than ever in the 5K. 345 finished the 3.1-mile race, the most in the four-year history of the Doggie Dash.
