Diana Moon was the overall winner of the Relay 5K held Saturday morning in Smithville to benefit Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. She ran the course in twenty six minutes and nine seconds.
Jim Wall had the second best time at 26:26 and Jason Mahan came in third overall at 26:43
In the One Mile Fun Run, Ethan Jenkins, who took first place, finished the course in ten minutes and six seconds followed in second place by Luke Jenkins at 10:40 and William Clendenen whose time was 13:42
Casey Midgett, 2010 Chairman of Relay for Life, said more runners took part in this year’s event. ” We had a good crowd of 45 participants which was up from 23 runners last year. We had two races, the 5K and the Fun Run, which both began at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at the east end of Green Brook Park.”
“As far as winners, we had a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall for the 5K and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall for the Fun Run.”
“For the 5K, we also gave out a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place award for four age categories.”
Midgett says all proceeds will benefit the DeKalb County Relay for Life. “Right now we think we have made about $1,600 off of the race itself, which will now, preliminarily, push our entire Relay total to around $56,500 for 2010. We still have some more fundraisers to go this summer and our goal, now, is to try to get to $60,000.”
