Williams and Shuck biggest winners at Panama City Beach's Biggest Loser

In the history of modern entertainment there has been no television show that was so successful that the producers didn't try to make even more money from it. In fact, the more popular a show is, the greater the chance that there will be some kind of spin-off merchandising--toys, clothes, books, board games, or whatever. I'm just as much of sucker as any consumer; as a child I wore by "Batman" T-shirt when Adam West and Burt Ward were playing the Dynamic Duo on the tube, as an adult I sip tea out of a "Game of Thrones" mug.


But the weight-reduction themed reality show, "The Biggest Loser," has come up with a unique bit of merchandising. There is a "Biggest Loser" series of road races. One race on the series is the Panama City Beach "Biggest Loser" Half Marathon Run. The third annual running of this event was on Sunday morning, 28 December 2014.


The big winner at the 2014 "Biggest Loser" Half Marathon was Darrel Williams, who covered the 13.1-mile course out-and-back from Pier Park in 1:25:08, finishing almost two miles ahead of the next runner. Andrew Collins finished runner-up with a 1:40:13. Finishing third overall in 1:40:46, master runner Julie Shuck was the first female finisher. Daryle Ryan was the first male master in the field, coming in eighth overall in 1:45:39.


313 athletes finished Panama City Beach's third annual "Biggest Loser" Half Marathon Run. By my count, that's a lot of winners.

It's Zablocki by a mile at the Jacksonville Bank Marathon

Connecticut athlete Chris Zablocki likes to come south for winter marathons. For example, in 2013 the former Dartmouth trackman was in Florida winning the 39th annual Tallahassee Marathon, and a month later was in Georgia placing second in the Albany Marathon. Who can blame him? New England winters are, well, New England winters. What we call "winter" in Florida and Georgia may be inconvenient and it can be uncomfortable, but it won't kill you. So it was no surprise to find Zablocki in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday morning, 28 December 2014, where he cruised to a 2:27:41 win in the 32nd annual Jacksonville Bank Marathon.


The Marathon and the associated Jacksonville Bank Half Marathon and 5K each started from Bolles School at 7:00 AM. Once the half marathoners had turned off to make their return to Bolles and the finish line, it was clear that Jacksonville's Justin Jacobs was leading the long run, with Chris Zablocki holding second place. Jacobs ran an optimistic pace of just over 5:30 per mile for the first half of the race, opening a gap of over a minute on Zablocki. But Zablocki came back. At the halfway mark Zablocki pulled overtook Jacobs. The runner from Connecticut owned the second half of the race, as Zablocki left Jacobs far behind. By the time Zablocki reached the finish line on the Bolles School track, he was nearly a mile ahead of Jacobs, winning the Marthon in 2:27:41. Jacobs took second in 2:33:29.


Dutch distance runner Mariska Kramer finished third overall for the second year in a row. Her 2:46:10 wasn't quite as fast as the 2:45:35 she had run in the rainy 2013 race, but it was good enough to net her a second straight Jacksonville Marathon women's title.  Kramer was also the fastest master runner in the marathon, having just turned 40 in 2014.


Jack Westrick of Dunwoody, Georgia, was the top male master in the 2014 Jacksonville Marathon, placing fourth overall in 2:48:43.


Top Ten Men, 2014 Jacksonville Bank Marathon

699 runners finished the marathon, but 1277 completed the concurrent half marathon. 2013 winner Chris Mutai aimed to once again be the fastest in the shorter race, but he was outrun by Jaiden Brandt of Lynchburg, Virginia. The previous year Brandt had finished his career as a cross-country runner at Georgia Regents University, where he had distinguished himself by never winning a cross-country race. The Jacksonville Bank Half Marathon isn't a cross-country race, though, and Brandt won in 70:09. Defending champ Mutai was second in 70:37, while Mike Hensley of Gainesville, Florida, was third in 71:55. Hector Santos of Puerto Rico was the fastest master runner in the half marathon, taking fourth overall in 74:33. Master runner Lyubov Denisova edged Orlando's Heather Schulz for the women's title, 81:02 to 81:24. Denisova and Schulz were 14th and 15th overall.

Fox & Fox win Dothan's 2014 running finale

Westgate ParkKayla Fox's twin brother, Austin Fox, ran 17:33 to win the Dothan Runners' annual Last Gasp 5K Trail Run on Saturday morning, 27 December 2014. In the same Dothan, Alabama, race, Austin Fox's twin sister, Kayla Fox, won the women's division, placing fifth overall in 21:41.


Austin Fox had finished second to Berry College distance runner Kyle Harris in the 2013 Last Gasp, but the 2014 race was all Fox's. Running alone in the lead for most of the 3.1-mile circuit of Dothan's Westgate Park, Fox was more than 700 meters ahead of the next runner when he crossed the finish line in 17:33. Richie Fernandez took the runner-up spot in 20:27. Dale Thomas was the fastest master runner in the race, edging Rush Jones for third 20:51 to 20:56.


Kayla Fox's 21:41 was the fastest women's time at the Last Gasp since Dana Cody's 20:26 in the 2011 race, and it was fast enough to put Fox nearly 600 meters ahead of the next woman. C. J. Parrish was second in the women's standings, placing 11th overall in 24:36. Caroline Dunklin was the first woman finisher, coming in 16th overall in 26:22. The top woman master was Beverly Lovelady, fourth female and 18th overall in 26:45. And the fifth woman finisher was Chris Fox, the first female grand master and 21st overall in 27:11. Austin and Kayla are two of Chris's children.


Including all the Foxes, 62 athletes finished the 2014 Last Gasp 5K Trail Run.
