A show of hands revealed a number of military veterans who ran or were part of the organization of the 31st Annual Memorial Day 2-Mile Road Race on St. Croix. Billy Bohlke a captain and pilot in the Puerto Rico Air National Guard, led the way on the slightly new course from Beeston Hill to the Christiansted Bypass Overlook. Bohlke, who has won this race numerous times, clocked in at 11:19. Randall Nielsen was not far behind for second place, his time was 11:38; Jay Gleason was the third place male in 11:56; Troy Holloway was fourth in 12:39; Mike Klein was fifth in 13:45. Bridget Campbell-Klein was the top female and third overall in 11:50; Camila Jensen held on for second in 13:47 and just ahead of Rachel Conoff for third in 13:51; Dulcie Crowther was fourth in 15:02; Luanne Rutt of Daytona, Florida, was fifth in 16:03.
The next event on the V.I.Pace Runners calendar is the 30th Annual Women’s Race at 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 1, in Frederiksted. For this year only, males will be permitted to run. There will be a special category for the top partner team; the school with the most participants will receive a cash prize, as will the coach. The run honors Mary Mingus, a founder of the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix and co-founder for the race with Wallace Williams, who is also the race director.
