The promoters of the Smokin' on the Suwannee BBQ Festival claim that grillers from all over the Southeast come to Live Oak, Florida, to compete in their barbecue contest. While the same can't be said of the festival's road race, the Hog Jog 5K, it is true that master runner Michael Martinez drove all the way from Tallahassee to run the fourth annual event on Saturday morning, 25 July 2015. And run he did, winning the five kilometer race by more than a kilometer while posting a time of 18:04 for the 3.1 miles through the streets of Live Oak.Natalie Lord, a sophomore on the Suwannee High cross country team, finished second overall in the Hog Jog 5K, winning the women's title in 23:24.
31 athletes finished the race. Proceeds of the Hog Jog 5K and the other events at the Smokin' on the Suwannee BBQ Festival support the Back To School Bash.
