If you despair at seeing seasonal shopping displays earlier and earlier each year, so that Christmas items are showing up in stores months early, you can take comfort in the world of road racing. On the roads, you won't see a Turkey Trot before November. You won't see a Jingle Bell Run outside of December. And it will almost certainly be October before you see a pumpkin-themed run--like Colquitt Christian Academy's fourth annual Pumpkin Patch Run. That five-kilometer race didn't show up on the streets of Moultrie, Georgia till Saturday morning, 5 October 2019. Will Brewster of Moultrie led the field by more than 500 meters, winning the race in 18:01. Moultrie master runner April Mathis was the first woman in the race, placing eighth overall in 25:40.Moultrie's Tyler Dunn finished runner-up to Brewster with a 20:40. Lee McGill of Moultrie, the defending champion, was the top master runner in the race, coming in third overall in 21:31.
Thomasville, Georgia master runner Robin Cartright took second in the women's standings and sixteenth overall in 30:08. Thirteen-year-old Calie Myrick, an eighth-grader on the Colquitt Christian Academy cross-country team, was the third female finisher and seventeenth overall in 31:02.
60 athletes finished the 2019 Pumpkin Patch 5K.
