The Jones County Parents for Drug Free
Youth revived the Run From Drugs 5k race, which was held at
the Sawmill Mall for a number of years. This year's race was
held at the Howard Industrial Park on Saturday, April 28.
The race started at the Jones Junior College Advanced
Technology Center and was an out and back course throughout
the park. The course was as flat as any that I have ever
run, and everyone present seemed to enjoy the race. Since
there were several races in the area, all of the fast people
went somewhere else. After a few instructions from Jeremy
Felder, the race director, we were off and running. Phillip
Wedgeworth took the early lead and never gave it up,
finishing with a 19.45. Shely Ingwerson traveled all the way
from Nebraska to beat out Audrey Jackson and took the first
place woman's award with a time of 21.55. Charles and Audrey
Jackson made it a family affair, winning the masters awards.
Charles ran a 21.30, and Audrey ran a 22.26. Sam Bilbo was
third overall and won the under 19 age group with a 21.35.
Michael Gordon was the winner in the 20-29 age. Ray
Henderson was second overall and won the 30-39 age group
with a 21.23. Chuck Gatzman was second in that age group.
Nick Haas took the 40-49 age group. Christy Pickering won
the 30-39 age group with a 27.27, and Ashley Gatzman was
second in that age group. After the race, we had bananas and
water. With the flat, fast course, the lack of traffic, and
the use of the Advanced Technology building, this race could
be developed into a success.
