A buffet of racing at Barney's Run For Warriors

Barney's Run For Warriors 2018If you want to run a marathon in Albany, Georgia, the obvious choice is the Snickers® Marathon, held each March since 2007. If you don't want to wait for spring, though, then there's the Barney's Run For Warriors Marathon in the fall. Just like its springtime sibling, Barney's Marathon has a USATF-certified course and a half-marathon option on a USATF-certified course. The Run For Warriors also includes 10K, 5K, and one-mile races, something you won't see at the Snickers. All the courses are USATF certified, except for the mile.


Unlike the Snickers®, you won't see a mob of participants at the Run For Warriors. While 489 athletes finished the 2018 Snickers® Marathon, only two completed Barney's Run For Warriors Marathon on Saturday morning, 17 November 2018--master runner Janine Grinage won the race in 3:31:43, and Deb Potash took second in 4:19:37. Maybe there were too many choices?


More athletes opted for the Run For Warriors Half Marathon. Like the marathon, a woman was the overall winner. Jennifer Perkins covered the 13.1 miles around Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany in a winning 1:30:31, finishing two-and-a-half kilometers ahead of the next runner. Master runner Robert Pilcher was the first man across the finish line, placing second overall in 1:42:57. Karen McNally was the top woman master and third female finisher in the half marathon, placing sixth overall in 1:53:41.
