The second annual Our Lady of
Fatima Spring Festival 5K run/walk was held on Saturday,
May 20, 2006 in Biloxi with 127 people running in the 5K
and 70 one-milers. After a few instructions, we were
off. Robert Bedsole burned up the course and finished
first with a fast 15:52. The first female was Lori
Kalliniko. Mark Koch and Nancy Phillips were the Masters
winners, and Bill Gasparrini and Lu Jeffrey were the
Grand Masters winners. Phillip Wedgeworth and Chuck
Gatzman represented the Pine Belt Area. Phillip was
first in his age group. This was a very good group of
runners for a second year race, and the cause is a good
one. Much thanks to all who worked so hard to make this
race a success. I was most impressed with a large group
of young people from across the country who not only ran
and helped work the race, but who also have been on the
coast for quite some time helping out with Katrina
recovery. The race was well organized and well run (no
pun intended). After the race we had good refreshments
with fruit, sports drink, water, and soft drinks.
