In Panama City Beach, Florida the 2018 School House Run had to be rescheduled in anticipation of Tropical Storm Alberto. In October of that same year, Hurricane Michael shredded the trees in Conservation Park, removing most of the shade from the course. So on the morning of the third annual School House Run--Saturday morning, 25 May 2019--the athletes had a hot, sunny eight-kilometer race to look forward to. But the best runners take the conditions as they are, and Ivan De La Cruz was the best runner that morning, winning the race in 32:51. Rory Claussen was first in the women's field, placing third overall in 35:59.Nicolas Waddell had won the race in 2018, but this time he came in behind his older brother, Ivan, finishing runner-up in 34:35. Brandon Early was the third man across the finish line and fifth overall in 42:24.
For Claussen, it was her third time racing the School House Run and her second win. She had set a women's course record of 36:25 in the 2018 race; in 2019 she lowered that to 35:59. Adriana Adalpe was the second woman and fourth overall in 40:23, while Denise Spencer placed third on the women's side and sixth overall in 43:17.
Just a step behind Spencer, Scott Perry was the top master runner in the race and the fourth male finisher, seventh overall in 43:18. Eve Philips was the first woman master, the fourth female and ninth overall in 47:01.
