Congratulations to the overall winners of the 2009 RRCA Alabama State 1 Mile Championship, Josh Whitehead (4:34.66) and Kateira Allen (6:50.06). Masters Champions were Robert Whitaker (5:21.43) and Julie Braziel (7:11.12).

Overall winner Josh Whitehead also set a new 31 year old male record, eclipsing the old record by 13 seconds. Thanks to everyone who came out to run on a rainy morning and a special thanks to everyone who volunteered to help.
