The twenty-second annual
Biloxi Mayor's Cup 5K Run/Walk and one-miler was held on
November 19 at a new location due to Hurricane Katrina. This
was the second post-Katrina race and the second race with a
double loop, so if we missed any of the view on the first
run through, we could see it on the second. About 100 people
participated in the events. In addition to the runners it
was good to see Ed Wheeler as the guest race starter. Ed got
a new heart valve less than two weeks ago. To look at him
one would never know that he had major surgery. Leonard gave
a few instructions and then lead the runners on his bike.
Chad Campbell won with a time of 16:08, which was forty
seconds faster than the second place finisher, Inder Sehgal
who won the Masters trophy. Bill Gasparrini was the Grand
Masters winner. Carole Smith was the female winner with a
21:15. Maureen Koch and Peggy Gore took Masters and Grand
Masters honors. The Pine Belt Pacers were well represented
in today's race. Ron Williams, Nestor Raul Anzola, Martha
Ray Sartor, and Phillip Wedgeworth all traveled to the Coast
to represent the PBP club. Several members who live on the
Coast were also present. After the race we had fruit, soft
drinks, water, and Martha Ray's favorite beer. Thanks to
Leonard and the gang for putting on another quality event.
