Master runners Duane Evans and Loranne Ausley take the field to school at the Race For Pace

In Tallahassee, Florida the Race For Pace 5K benefits the Pace School For Girls. But it wasn't schoolchildren leading the pack on Saturday morning, 2 November 2019, at the second annual Race For Pace, it was master runners. Master runner Duane Evans led the entire field, winning the race in 21:47. Master runner Loranne Ausley was first in the women's field, placing eleventh overall in 26:37.

Duane Evans and Craig Shelton

Three runners, Evans among them, were the early leaders in the race. By the end of the first mile, the trio had dwindled to a duo--Evans and Craig Shelton. Evans eventually shook Shelton as well, going on to win by almost 200 meters in 21:47. Shelton was second in 22:39, and Malachi Richards third in 24:26.


Ausley's 26:37 put her across the finish line close to 100 meters ahead of the next woman. Jodi Stevens was the second female finisher, twelfth overall in 27:11. Close behind Steven, Lucille Spann took third in the women's standings and thirteenth overall in 27:17.
