Michael Rhodes and Lydia McRae were the fastest ever at Perry's Great Race

Since 2013, The Great Race 5K has been an annual event in Perry, Florida. Of the four race from 2015 to 2018, Lydia McRae ran three of them, and won each of those three. She was on the starting line again on Saturday morning, 26 October 2019, for the seventh annual running of The Great Race. This time, though, Perry master runner Michael Rhodes was first across the finish line, winning the race in an event record 16:46. McRae was the first woman and the overall runner-up in 17:13.


Master runner William Carter was second in men's standings and third overall in 20:23. James Rodney King was the third male runner and fourth overall in 21:07.


McRae's 17:13 was her fastest time yet at The Great Race, and the best mark by a woman in the seven-year history of the event. Loranne Ausley of Tallahassee, Florida was the first woman master in the 5K and the second female finisher, fourteenth overall in 25:05. Master runner Charlie Johns was the third woman and sixteenth overall in 26:49.
