Matt Blunden and Jennifer Nelson nab wins at Destin's Bayou, Bay, and Beach 10K

Bayou, Bay, and BeachWhen Destin, Florida's Bayou, Bay, and Back was first run in 2011, it was a January event that consisted of two road races--a 10K and a 5K. 275 athletes participated. The following year the event grew more ambitious, adding a half marathon to the program. Things stayed that way till 2017, when the half marathon was replaced by a 15K. By then, the event had adopted the name Bayou, Bay, and Beach.


In 2018 the Bayou, Bay, and Beach moved from January to May. So far as race distances, the event returned to its roots, staging a 10K and a 5K. So on Saturday morning, 5 May 2018, Destin athlete Matt Blunden won the eighth annual Bayou, Bay, and Beach 10K, running 35:14. Panama City, Florida master runner Jennifer Nelson took the women's title, placing sixth overall in 44:44.


Phillip Bauer of Destin finished runner-up to Blunden at 37:23. Destin's Bobby Flynn took third in 40:25. David Shearon of Panama City Beach was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fourth overall in 41:13. Shearon was a two-time Bayou, Bay, and Beach 10K champion, winning the race in 2012 and 2015.


Darcie Hennessey of Mary Esther, Florida was second in the women's standings, placing ninth overall in 48:51. Navarre, Florida athlete Jessica Przybocki was the third woman and tenth overall in 49:15.

A repeat win for Shearon and a record run for Nelson at the Coach Post 10K

Coach Post 10K & 5KEach April, the Coach Post Run takes places near Panama City Beach, Florida in Saint Andrews State Park. Obviously, the race isn't named after David Shearon. Nevertheless, the master runner from Panama City Beach manages to frequently put his name on it. Most recently, on Saturday morning, 14 April 2018, Shearon ran 40:13 in the fifth annual Coach Post 10K, winning the race for the third time in five years. Panama City, Florida master runner Jennifer Nelson won the women's title, setting a new course record for women of 43:02 and placing fourth overall.


Ivan De La Cruz, a sophomore on the Mosley High cross-country team, placed second in the 10K, running 40:38. It was a better than two-minute improvement on the 42:44 that he had run in the 2017 race, where De La Cruz also placed second. Just two days before this latest effort, De La Cruz had ended his high school track season with a 5:07.31/11:33.46 double in the 1600/3200 at the District 2 meet. Nicolas Waddell, a Mowat Middle School sixth-grader who has been spotted racing cross-country in a Rutherford High uniform, placed third in 42:43.


Port Saint Joe, Florida master runner Dana Black was second in the women's standings and fifth overall in 45:59. Another master runner, Amy Helms of Panama City Beach, was the third woman and tenth overall in 50:18.


69 athletes finished the 2018 Coach Post 10K.

Like 10K runner-up De La Cruz, Jones finished up his high school track season at the District 2 meet two days before the Coach Post Run.
