Milton, Florida, is a small town, dwarfed by nearby Pensacola. Nor does Milton have the surf and white sands of Pensacola Beach. The town isn't without it's attractions, though. There's the Blackwater River, the Blackwater Heritage State Trail, and the "Red Brick Road"--a brick-paved remnant of the old Florida State Road 1 open to foot and bicycle traffic now that the Model Ts have moved on. There's also the Riverwalk, the focus of Milton's annual Riverwalk Run 5K.Milton held its seventh annual Riverwalk Run 5K on Saturday afternoon, 3 October 2015, starting near the Riverwalk at the intersection of Willing and Berryhill. At 5:00 PM the race started and the athletes headed north on Broad Street. After a 3.1-mile tour of Milton that included portions of the Blackwater Trail and the Riverwalk, Dewayne Riley of Milton was the first to finish, winning the race in 17:01. Lafayette, Louisiana, athlete Dan Vollmer was runner-up and top master, running 18:07. Milton's Derek Blackmon finished third in 18:13. Milton athletes Karen Trittschuh and Susan Smith were in a tight race for the women's title, but Trittschuh won that duel 20:53 to 20:56. Trittschuh was tenth overall while Smith, the top woman master in the race, was eleventh. Milton master runner Michele Williams was third in the women's standings, placing 17th overall in 21:40.
120 runners plus an assortment of walkers finished the seventh annual Riverwalk Run. Timing and finish line services for the race were provided by Results Event Timing, LLC, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
