Just a few days after some agonizingly close pennant races in Major League Baseball (... Red Sox vs. Yankees, and Cubs vs. Marlins... ), our 5K series witnessed two of the most lopsided victories in recent memory:

• Brad Fors (16:57) won the men's race by 3 minutes... or a little over a half-mile!
• And Linda Usher won the ladies' race by more than 1 minute -- with daughter Tabitha Lumpkins finishing second.
