Russell Coleman and Anna Haberzettl lead a mob of master runners at Crowdis

2018 Dr. James H. Crowdis Run 10K and 5K
On the streets of Blakely, Georgia on Saturday morning, 11 January 2020, the spotlight was on master runners. In the 10K race at the 24th annual Dr. James H. Crowdis Run, nearly every athlete in the entire field were master runners. That included the overall winner, Russell Coleman, who covered the 6.2-mile course in 39:02. Anna Haberzettl, the women's champ, was likewise a master runner. Haberzettl finished the 10K third overall in 46:06.


Donalsonville, Georgia master runner Myles Gibson took second in the 10K for the third year in a row, running 41:16. Although Gibson has never won the Crowdis 10K, he won the Crowdis 5K three times back when the shorter race was the only race offered at the event, logging victories in 1993, 2014, and 2015. Bainbridge, Georgia master runner David Braswell placed third in the men's standings, coming in fourth overall in 48:25.


Master runner Edna Reed finished runner-up in the women's standings, crossing the line ninth overall in 57:20. Master runner Kristi Holland was the third woman and eleventh overall, running 57:52.


30 athletes finished the 2020 Crowdis 10K. 25 of them were master runners.

that day postponed by a severe winter storm.

A huge "thank you" to Larry Dykes of the Dothan Runners for his help in filling many blanks in
the above history.
