Ash and Kumm lead a pack of Bushwackers

Capt'n Fun Bushwacker 5K RunOn 3 August 2013, just a few months after completing his four-year sojourn at Vanderbilt University, Alan Ash won the Bushwacker 5K. Ash was back in Pensacola Beach, Florida a year later, winning the 2014 Bushwacker 5K. Somehow the Atmore, Alabama athlete missed the 2015 race, but on 6 August 2016 Alan Ash won the Bushwacker 5K for a third time, running 15:59. Fiana Kumm, formerly a distance runner at George Mason University and Penn State University, took the women's title at the Capt'n Fun Runners' 28th annual Bushwacker, placing fourteenth overall in 18:53.


Vincent Mauri--a sophomore on the Howland High cross country team in Warren, Ohio--was second behind Ash in 16:36. Just a few steps behind Mauri, Jeffrey Oliver of Pensacola was third in 16:39. Milton, Florida's Dewayne Riley took fourth in 16:58 and Micah Kemp of Jay, Florida placed fourth in 17:06. Niceville High coach Joe Corderman was the top master runner in the Bushwacker, finishing 22nd overall in 20:18.


Allie Nelson finished second in the women's standings and 23rd overall in 20:18. Nelson is a senior on the cross country team at TR Miller High in Brewton, Alabama. Meghan Connor took third on the women's side and 30th overall in 20:35. Michele Williams was the first woman master and the fourth female finisher, placing 39th overall in 21:09.


884 athletes finished the 2016 Bushwacker 5K. Results Event Timing, LLC, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida timed the race. By the way, the fun was just beginning with the Bushwacker. The race was the first in the three-event 850 Bridge Run Series, which continues with the third annual Bridge to Bridge 5K on 15 October 2016 and concludes with the twentieth annual Double Bridge Run on 4 February 2017. You can also plan and prepare for the 29th Bushwacker 5K on 5 August 2017. I have a feeling Alan Ash will be ready for that one.
