Nick Rosatti and Laura Solomon were top of the podium at the Daylily 5K

Daylily 5KAdel, Georgia hosts an annual Daylily Festival. It's a paradox of geography that the annual Daylily 5K has, more than a few times, been run in nearby Sparks, Georgia. One of those times was Saturday morning, 10 May 2025, when Nick Rosatti won the fifteenth annual Daylily 5K, going 17:50 on the streets of Sparks. Nashville, Georgia master runner Laura Solomon was the first woman in the race, running 23:58 for sixteenth overall.


You might have picked Rosatti as the favorite in the 2025 race. After all, he had won the Daylily 5K in 2021 with a 17:13--the fastest winning time ever posted at the event. But Rosatti shared the starting line with Adel's own Canaan Ponce, who owned the 2022 and 2023 Daylily titles. At the finish line, Ponce was only twenty meters behind the winner, taking second in 17:54. Another Adel athlete, Gary Rowan, was third in 19:01. Jason Shehand of Suwannee, Georgia was the first master runner in the 5K, comming in fourth in 19:27.


The 2024 women's winner, Julie Grace Taylor of Adel, placed second in the women's division, coming in eighteenth overall in 25:01. Adel master runner Shonna O'Quinn, a two-time women's champ of the Daylily 5K, was the first woman master and third female finisher, 23rd overall in 27:19.


62 athletes finished the 2025 Daylily City 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race and provided finish line services.

Gregory and Solomon win at the Run To Remember 10K

Sha MissionsIf you're looking for a 10K road race in Southwest Georgia, you should probably start by looking in Moultrie. Other towns have more races, and some even have a ten kilometer race. Thomasville, in particular, can boast of the Rose City Run, the oldest 10K in its region of the state. Moultrie, however, has more 10K races than any other town in this corner of Georgia. Considering that the population of Moultrie isn't quite 15,000 it's likely that the city has more 10K events per capita than any other town in the state. On 15 April 2017 the city hosted the Run For The Ranch 10K. On 16 September 2017 the Moultrie YMCA Superhero 10K (formerly the Race of the South) comes to the streets of the city. And between the two, on Saturday morning, 12 August 2017, Sha Missions' sixth annual Run To Remember 10K was contested in Moultrie.

Case Gregory, an eighth-grader on the Colquitt County Middle School cross-country team, won the 6.2-mile Run To Remember by almost half a kilometer, running 46:44. Moultrie's Tyler Dismuke finished runner-up in 49:11, and Joey Bozeman of Coolidge, Georgia took third in 49:54. Tifton, Georgia athlete Jody Jordan was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fifth overall in 52:18.


Laura Solomon of Nashville, Georgia took the women's title, placing sixth overall in 53:41.


Fifteen athletes finished the 2017 Run To Remember 10K.
