If you want to experience the roots of "real cross-country," you should probably leave the rooftops to Batman and head to the forest--a woodland such as, say, Ponce de Leon Springs State Park near Bonifay, Florida. There, on Saturday morning, 10 March 2018, three days after the test race in Denmark, 61 athletes competed in the Trailblazer Trot 5K Cross-Country Race. Nathan Harigel was fastest in that field, winning the race in 17:42. Amber Hundley was the top woman in the race, placing fifteenth overall in 25:26.
Bonifay runners Joshua Wilberscheid and Joseph Clark took second and third, running 18:08 and 18:59. Jason Dence edged Anthony Jansen for top master runner honors, 19:18 to 19:23. Dence and Jansen were fourth and fifth overall.
Sydney Jansen was the women's runner-up, placing sixteenth overall in 25:40. Tamara Lewis was the first woman master and third female finisher, 22nd overall in 27:55.
