Most of the runners in the 25th Paradise 5K were in their final preparation for the triathlon on Sunday. They got an idea of what the run is like because the Paradise 5K is on the actual triathlon course and is the most challenging part of it, which takes place in the award-winning Buccaneer Resort.
Jason Snow, a local runner, took first place in the sunset race with a time of 20:10; Eligah DeIrish of Freewill Baptist School on St. Croix took second in 21:22; 57 year-old Barry Siff of Boulder, Colorado, was third 21:34 (he was the top master finisher); Malik DeIrish of FWBS was fourth in 21:54 and David Painter of Bar Harbor, Maine, was fifth in 22:51.
Kate Sequla of Milford, Minnesota, was the top female finisher with a time of 23:23; Teresa Nelson of Seattle, Washington, was second in 23:50; Lisa Christensen of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was third in 24:28; Mai Libach Hansen of Denmark was fourth in 24:39; Laura Wilkins of Goldsboro, North Carolina, was fifth in 25:52. Laurie Brenner 57, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, was the top master female finisher in 26:15.
Notes:
1] Awards were presented by V.I. Olympic Marathon runners Ana Gutierrez and Dr. Marlon Williams. George Jules, multiple winner of the Paradise 5K, led the race on bike
2] The Paradise 5K has its origin with the Americas Paradise Triathlon and initially started at South Gate and finished in Christiansted, and offered local and visiting athletes participating in the triathlon the opportunity to run on part of the triathlon run course. The race shifted to the Buccaneer Resort in later years, which is also part of the run course for the triathlon.
3] The Paradise 5K is organized by The Virgin Islands Pace Runners
