The Raleigh
Heritage Festival 5K run/walk was held on Saturday,
September 25 with 19 runners, three walkers, and 5
one-milers. After a few prerace instructions and traffic
warnings from race director Wyck Neeley, we were off on
possibly the hardest 5K course in Mississippi. The course is
an out and back with several rolling hills and the last 3/4
mile up a very big hill. Mark Tullos took the early lead,
but he didn't hold it long. John Littich was the overall
winner with Phillip Wedgeworth and Richard Sims coming in
second and third. Lauren Welch was the first female
finisher. Amanda Ward was first in the under
14 female group. Julie Little, Callie Osborn, and Cheryl
Johnson were the 15-20 female winners. Jessy Martin was the
only 15-20 male. Mark Tullos and Chris Hennis took honors in
the 30-39 male. Freddie Grant was the 40-49 winner. In the
50-59 age group Phillip Wedgeworth, Richard Sims and Voldell
Yates were the winners. Larry Sykes was the overall walk
winner. Theda Massey and Connie Meed finished at the same
time for the female walkers. Jessy Martin was the one-mile
winner. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this run
a success.
