Gary Droze repeats at the Verity Health 5K

Like many unincorporated areas, there isn't much to give Bradfordville, Florida an identity. There's the Bradford family cemetery. There have been Bradfordville schools in the past and there are still Bradfordville churches. As you drive north from Tallahassee on US 319, a sign tells you that you are entering Bradfordville. As the area has gotten caught up in Tallahassee's commercial sprawl, a Bradfordville Center filled with shops. As there has been during three different centuries, there's still a Bradfordville Road.

Nevertheless, Bradfordville was the destination of dozens of athletes on Saturday, 19 January 2019--the morning of the second annual Verity Health 5K.
Master runner Gary Droze won the race for the second year straight, posting a winning time of 18:43. Jamila Allen was the first woman in the race, placing fourth overall in 21:06.


Noah Deem, a sixth-grader on the Community Leadership Academy cross-country team, finished second to Droze in 19:35. Another cross-country runner, Maclay School eighth-grader Lucas Mauch, ran 20:46 for third.


Kiera Hanselman finished runner-up in the women's standings, placing eleventh overall in 24:43. Ely Martin was the third woman and sixteenth overall in 26:12.


59 athletes finished the 2019 Verity Health 5K. Miles & Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee, Florida timed the race.
