Gibson and Sura first on the trails at the Purple Heart Run

Bainbridge State College is located on the edge of Bainbridge, Georgia, just west of the Twin Lakes. The town averages just over 50 inches of rainfall annually, but in 2014 over 60 inches fell. Twin Lakes didn't become triplets or quadruplets, but it became apparent that there were a lot of brothers and sisters in the family. Some of those ponds swelled to cover the trails around the college, the trails that have formed the course for Bainbridge State's Purple Heart Run since 2013. So on Saturday morning, 28 February 2015, both the 10K and the 5K at the third annual Purple Heart Run had new courses. New routes, though, were no problem for Myles Gibson, who won the 10K cross-country run in 44:57. Nor was it a problem for Julia Sura, who successfully defended her 2014 women's title in the 10K. Neither was it a problem in the 5K, where Dustin Reynolds won in 21:59 and Laura Reina ran 26:52 to finish first in the women's standings.


Both races started shortly after 9:00 AM, heading north on the grass along College Road. A cold drizzle started falling, working on Bainbridge's 2015 rainfall total. Not quite 800 meters into the race the runners reached a clearing under transmission lines where an "S"-shaped path had been roped off. Ridge Harper was the first 10K competitor to reach the power lines, followed by Donalsonville, Georgia, master runner Myles Gibson and David Welling. By the time they had left the transmission lines to head into the woods, Gibson had cut Harper's lead in half. The man from Donalsonville overtook Harper under the trees, and at the end of the first five-kilometer loop Gibson was nearly a minute ahead. Meanwhile, Welling had caught up with Harper. During the second time around the loop, Gibson extended his lead. Behind him, Welling and Harper were locked in a back-and-forth battle for second.


Gibson reached the finish line over three minutes ahead of the next runner in a winning 44:57. Welling surged away from Harper in the final 200 meters to take second, 48:03 to 48:21. Tallahassee master runner Philip Sura, the 2014 Purple Heart 10K winner, was fourth in 49:22.


"I ran the Tallahassee Marathon three weeks ago and this was the first time since then I've felt like racing again," said Gibson after the win. "I want to run a couple of 10K races in Tallahassee this spring. The Thomasville Road Baptist Church 10K and, of course, the Springtime 10K."


First-year Florida State University student Monica Reinhard, an alumna of the Palmer Trinity School cross-country team, led the women's field in the early going of the Purple Heart 10K. Before the end of the first loop, though, Julie Genovar had taken over the women's lead. Going into the second half of the race Genovar was 50 meters ahead of the next two women, Tallahassee runners Juanita Chalmers and Julia Sura. At the second pass under the power lines, Sura and Chalmers had caught up with Genovar. With less than four kilometers to go the top three women were just a meter or two apart.


"I felt good," said Sura about that point of the race. "I had my last sip of water, then I said, 'Goodbye, Juanita.' I could hear the other girl breathing hard."


The Tallahassee master runner broke away from Chalmers and Genovar then ran home in 58:38, the first woman and eighth finisher overall. Chalmers was the women's runner-up, 11th overall in 59:22. Genovar placed third in the women's standings, finishing 13th overall in 59:47. Reinhard was the fourth woman home, 15th overall in 60:04.

A sweetheart of a race in Tifton for Anthony and Oslund

Atlanta Track Club master runner Kurt Anthony won the 18th annual 5K Sweetheart Run in Tifton, Georgia, on 21 February 2015, running 19:41. Brenau University track star Elena Oslund finished in the runner-up spot, taking the women's title with a 19:51. 132 athletes finished the 3.1-mile race, which started and finished at the offices of Rehabilitation Services of Tifton.


Oslund was back for a visit in South Georgia just one week after setting Brenau University school records in both the indoor mile and the 3000-meter run (5:24.69 and 10:48.66 for the statisticians). After going to high school in North Carolina, Oslund had become acquainted with South Georgia while competing for the Darton State College cross-country team. Oslund spent a semester after Darton State at Lindsey Wilson College, but now she's back in Georgia racing for the Brenau Golden Tigers in Gainesville.


Lorenzo Gomez, Jr., of Omega, Georgia, took third in the Sweetheart Run, running 20:09. Fourth place went to Omega master runner Lorenzo Gomez in 20:09, and Colquitt County High cross-country alumnus Steven Johnson finished fifth in 21:05.

Sarah Turner of Tifton was the third female finisher, placing 10th overall in 22:12. Tifton's Penny Peters was the fourth female finisher and first master woman, 17th overall in 24:25.

Coffee harriers Reid and Moorman repeat at Heart-to-Heart

Located comfortably close to General Coffee State Park, Douglas, Georgia, is home to South Georgia State College, the Douglas Rail Trail, and Coffee Regional Medical Center. Each year, the medical center hosts the annual Heart-to-Heart Community 5K, most recently held on Saturday morning, 21 February 2015. Douglas is also home to Coffee High School, whose cross country teams produced the champions of the 2015 Heart-to-Heart 5K--junior Cody Reid, the top male and overall winner at 17:15, and Hannah Moorman, the female winner at 23:01.


Reid, who was defending his 2014 title in the race, wasn't the only Coffee High Trojan in the top ten. Hinesville, Georgia, master runner Robert McCoy took the runner-up spot in 18:07, but he was followed by Coffee sophomore Juan Brockington in third at 19:01 and Coffee junior Caleb Watson in fourth at 19:06.


Like Cody Reid, Hannah Moorman was also a previous winner of the event. Moorman had won the women's title at the race in 2010 when it was a fall affair known as the Miles For Smiles 5K. In the 2015 running, Waycross, Georgia, athlete Ashley Forbus was runner-up on the women's side, finishing 16th overall in 23:24. Third in the women's standings went to Heidi Hines of Douglas, 18th overall in 23:34. The fourth woman finisher and first woman master was Terry Tatum of Nahunta, Georgia, 21st overall in 23:51.


137 athletes finished the 2015 Heart-to-Heart Community 5K. Proceeds of the race benefit the Coffee Regional Medical Center's cardiac rehabilitation program.
