Sandwiched between prostate cancer awareness month (September) and pancreatic cancer awareness month (November), October is breast cancer awareness month. That means pink ribbons, pink shirts, pink signs, and, well, pink everything. In Thomasville, Georgia, though, they get things going a little sooner, and Archbold's fourth annual Live Better 5K Pink Run was a few days early on Saturday morning, 28 September 2019. Daniel Cook won the 3.1-mile run through the streets of Thomasville, running 20:19. Cammie Hungerford was the first woman in the 5K, coming in sixth overall in 22:49.Both Cook and Hungerford had run the race before. Cook had finished eighth in the 2018 Pink Run, while Hungerford had won the women's title in the 2017 race.
Jeff Capps was the top master runner that morning, placing second overall in 20:51. Thomasville master runner Chad Johnson finished third overall in 21:30.
Catherine Adams was runner-up in the women's standings, placing seventh overall in 23:12. Morgan Long was the third woman and ninth overall in 24:17. Nancy Herring was the first woman master and fifth female finisher, twelfth overall in 25:20.
204 athlete finished the the 2019 Live Better 5K Pink Run. And if you're worried that road racing is becoming a women's sport, note that the female finishers of the 5K outnumbered their male counterparts 149 to 55. Gulf Winds Track Club of Tallahassee, Florida chip-timed the race.
