Whole hog in Adel--Ryan Kelly and Kylie Downs win the Hog Jog 5K

By late October Georgia's 2020 high school cross-country season was nearly over. The State Championship was coming up on 6 November 2020. Before State, the Valdosta High Wildcats had only the Region 1 meet on 29 October 2020 scheduled. So on 24 October 2020 the Wildcat coach, Ryan Kelly, had a rare free Saturday morning. Why not head up to Adel, Georgia for a road race?


He did. Coach Kelly won the Hog Jog 5K in 18:30, finishing more than 400 meters ahead of the next runner. Adel's Kylie Downs, a sophomore on the Cook High girls' cross-country team, took first in the women's standings, placing nineteenth overall in 24:34.


Bonaire, Georgia master runner Jared Hammond finished second overall with a 20:07. The race for third place was a showdown between two cross-country runners--Caden McDaniel, an eighth-grader on the Cook Middle School boys' cross-country squad, and William Garcia, a junior who races with the Lowndes High boys. Both athletes went 20:18, but McDaniel took third while Garcia had to settle for fourth.


Kylie Downs' Cook High teammate, junior Maggie Gregory, finished runner-up in the women's standings, placing 21st overall in 25:22. Shonna O'Quinn of Adel was the first woman master and third female finisher, 22nd overall in 25:29.


54 athletes finished Adel, Georgia's 2020 Hog Jog 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race and provided finish line services.

In Adel, 2019 is 2014 all over again for Ryan Kelly and Shonna O'Quinn

It was a day for the master runners in Adel, Georgia on Saturday, 18 May 2019. That morning, Lake Park, Georgia master runner Ryan Kelly won Adel's tenth annual Daylily City 5K by just over 200 meters, running 17:54. Another master runner, Shonna O'Quinn of Adel, was the first woman in the 3.1-mile race, placing thirteenth overall in 23:34.


It was also a morning for repeat winners. Of the ten Daylily City 5K runs, this was Kelly's fifth win--the Valdosta High cross-country coach had also placed first in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017. On the women's side, O'Quinn had previously won the Daylily City 5K in 2014.


Kelly's winning time of 17:54 was just four seconds off the event record of 17:50, a record Kelly himself had set in the 2015 race. Behind that 17:54, Cody Pezent of Adel finished runner-up in 18:31. Closely following Pezent, Johnny Artiaga, another Adel athlete, was third in 18:38. Artiaga is a frosh-year cross-country runner at Cook High, where Pezent is a graduating senior.


Victoria Garcia, an eighth-grader on the track team at Hahira Middle School, took second in the women's standings, placing sixteenth overall in 25:31. Adel master runner Angela Pezent was the third woman and seventeenth overall in 26:51.


77 athletes finished the 2019 Daylily City 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race and provided finish line services.

Cody Pezent and Constance Thomas win big at Little River

Georgia's Reed Bingham State Park isn't in any town. It's far enough off the beaten path that it's on the border separating Colquitt County and Cook County. But Reed Bingham is closest to Adel, Georgia. And in the park on Saturday morning, 20 April 2019, it was an athlete from Adel, Cody Pezent, who won the Little River Run 5K. Runner-up in the 2018 edition of the annual race, Pezent ran 19:42 to take first in 2019. Nashville, Georgia master runner Constance Thomas was the first woman in the race, placing eleventh overall in 27:01.


Aidan Evans, an eight-grader and cross-country runner for Tift Middle Schools, finished second in the 5K, running 22:35. Tom Thomas of Nashville, Georgia was third in 22:56. Karl Brown of Valdosta, Georgia was the first master runner in the race, placing fourth overall in 24:20.

Myles Gibson motors to victory at Daylily City

"18:17 at the Daylily City 5K," reported Myles Gibson after racing in Adel, Georgia on Saturday morning, 19 May 2018. "It's a flat, quick course."


What the Donalsonville, Georgia master runner didn't mention was that his 18:17 was the winning time in the race. That mark put him across the finish line of the ninth annual Daylily City 5K nearly 200 meters ahead of the next athlete. Another master runner--Char Davidson of Nashville, Georgia--was the first woman in the race, placing ninth overall in 24:31.


Norman Park, Georgia's Steven Scott Johnson took the runner-up spot with an 18:58. Cody Pezent, a rising senior on the Cook County High cross-country team, was third in 19:58, eight seconds faster than he had run in the 2017 Daylily City 5K. Another Cook County High athlete, incoming frosh Joseph Pezent, placed fourth in 20:58.


Sarah Lashley of Adel was second in the women's standings and twelfth overall in 24:42. Adel master runner Angela Pezent was the third woman and fourteenth overall in 26:06.

Fulp and Lohr race through two counties to win the Little River 5K

The Little River Run 5K is run entirely inside Georgia's Reed Bingham State Park, but the race still takes place in two different counties. The park straddles the Little River, which marks the boundary between Colquitt County and Cook County. So the race starts in Colquitt County, but most of the running is done in Cook County before the runners return to the west side of the river and finish back in Colquitt County.


Cook and Colquitt had to each take a back seat to another county, though, on Saturday morning, 21 April 2018, when Lowndes County resident Cavan Fulp won the Little River Run 5K in 20:25. Fulp, a student at Lowndes High, lives in Hahira, Georgia. Melanie Lohr, a master runner from Elkton, Florida, won the women's title, placing sixth overall in 25:48.


Finishing less than 30 meters behind Fulp, Cook High cross-country runner Cody Pezent took second in the race, running 20:31. Daniel Carver of Hahira was third in 21:35.


Adel, Georgia master runner Angela Pezent was the second woman and eighth overall in 26:35. Langley Wooten, a frosh-year member of the Thomas County Central cross-country team, was third in the women's standings and twelfth overall in 27:54.


Allen Wooten of Thomasville, Georgia was the first male master runner in the race, placing eighth in the men's standings and tenth overall in 26:52.


40 athletes finished the 2018 Little River Run 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta timed the race and provided finish line services.

Butzin and Price repeat in Reed Bingham

The Little River flows through South Georgia, eventually adding its waters to the Withlacoochee River near Valdosta. Sometimes it shrinks to a trickle, other times it swells with floodwaters and covers the trails in Reed Bingham State Park. Through all of its transformations, it remains the Little River.


Reed Bingham State Park has an annual footrace that changes nearly as much as the Little River. It was originally a pair of trail runs in the park, a 10K and a 5K, known as the Road Kill Run and held in conjunction with Buzzard Day--a celebration of the vultures who wintered along the river. After uncounted years in that form, the Road Kill Run became a 5K road race through the park in 2012. As the Road Kill 5K, the event wandered around the calendar, held in February, April, or May during various years. In 2017 the very name of the race changed, and it became the Little River Run 5K.


But just as the Little River retains its identity through all it changes, so has the race that now takes its name from the river. You can see that in the results of the race, how the same athletes compete year after year. That was certainly the case on Saturday morning, 22 April 2017, when 2016 winner Dan Butzin returned to the race and won again, running 18:59. Likewise, the 2015 women's champ, Annie Price, came back to Reed Bingham State Park and took the 2017 women's title, placing third overall in 20:56.


Behind Valdosta's Butzin, Colquitt County High sophomore Mitchell Riley took second in 20:46. Rick Mazurkiewicz of Valdosta was the fastest master runner in the race, coming in fourth overall in 21:47.


Returning to the theme of change, Valdosta's Anne Price may have been a repeat winner, but her 20:56 set a new course record for women. Polyanna Bass of Pavo, Georgia was the first woman master and second female finisher, sixth overall in 22:31. Laura Solomon of Nashville, Georgia was third in the women's standings and ninth overall in 24:04.


31 athletes finished the 2017 Little River Run 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta timed the race and provided finish line services.

Lewis and Spry capture the Kiwanis 5K

If the Road Runners Club of America, USA Track & Field, and the United States Olympic Committee were to all vanish, a lot of events would disappear with them. The Nation would still have a fairly complete set of track and field meets and road races, though, as long as the Kiwanis Clubs were still around. It's a race town in America without a race put on by the local Kiwanis. Adel, Georgia may be a modest-sized municipality, but it has its own annual Kiwanis 5K road race.


On Saturday morning, 4 March 2017, John Lewis won that year's edition of the Adel Kiwanis 5K, edging defending champ Dan Butzin 20:15 to 20:21. Both athletes hail from Valdosta, Georgia as does Vanessa Spry, who won the women's title in 23:18, placing third overall. Valdosta's Lauren Bewley was runner-up in the women's standings for the second year in a row, this time placing fifth overall in 23:35.


Billy Taylor of Valdosta was the fastest master runner in the race, finishing fourth overall in 23:27. Valdosta's Amy Reese was the top woman master and third female finisher, placing eleventh overall 27:54.


27 athletes finished the 2017 Adel Kiwanis 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta timed the race and provided finish line services.

Butzin and O'Linn take the Daylily City 5K

On 7 May 2016 Dan Butzin couldn't catch Ryan Kelly on the trails of Hahira, Georgia and had to settle for second place in the Julep Jog 5K. Two weeks later, though, things were different on the streets of Adel, Georgia at the seventh annual Daylily City 5K. There, even though Kelly had won each of the last three Daylily City titles, Butzin finished 30 meters ahead of him for the win, 18:06 to 18:13. Riley O'Linn, a rising junior on the Valwood School cross country team, captured the women's crown, coming in eighth overall in 22:27.


Behind the Butzin-Kelly duel, Nick Rosatti of Hahira placed third in 19:07. Joseph Todd Miles of Valdosta, Georgia took top master runner honors, coming in seventh overall in 22:10.


Debbie Green of Valdosta was the first woman master, coming in second behind Riley O'Linn in the women's standings and tenth overall in 22:41. Cyndi Lamica of Adel was the third female finisher and fifteenth overall in 23:33.
