The Humane Society of Bay County, Florida, has scheduled their annual Furry Friend 5K earlier each year. The race started off as a Memorial Day weekend race in 2011, but moved to late April the next year. A mid-April event followed, and then an early April date. The fifth annual Furry Friend 5K was earlier still, 28 March 2015. There may be a method to this scheduling madness, though, because 162 athletes finished the 2015 race, more than in any of the four preceding years.The fastest of those 162 was Casey Lamers. Lamers had finished runner-up in the 2014 Furry Friend 5K, but this year the race was his, as he covered the 3.1-miles through Panama City Beach's Frank Brown Park in 18:16. Not quite 100 meters back, Justin Williams was second in 18:37. Zack Bragdon finished third in 19:50. The top master in the race was David Griffin, who placed seventh overall in 22:33.
Danielle Mulick of Lynn Haven, Florida, took the women's title, finishing tenth overall in 23:14. Mowat Middle School cross-country runner Catherine MacLean was second in the women's standings, placing eleventh in 23:34. Right behind MacLean in twelfth overall at 23:45, Surfside Middle School distance runner Reagan Erbe was third in the women's division. Kristin Lamers was the first female master runner and fifth woman finisher, 21st overall in 26:07.
