Bacon Street Run for Mental Health 5K

By Rick Platt


Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix leader Victor Flemming, 35, of Carrollton, and Rich Saunders, 25, of Williamsburg had a great two-man battle throughout the 19th annual Bacon Street Run for Mental Health 5K, held on a mostly flat road course Saturday morning at Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg. The two quickly separated themselves from the pack, and pushed each other to the finish, with Flemming’s kick slightly better, the timer tape showing 16:12.99 for Flemming to 16:13.20 for Saunders. Two-time CRR Grand Prix champion Todd Kessler, 31, of Newport News, was over a minute back in 17:17 for third.


For the women, Leia Lautzenheiser, 22, of Midlothian, a recent graduate of William and Mary, living and working in Williamsburg for the summer, won her second CRR Grand Prix race of 2014 with a time of 19:36, with Masters (ages 40-and-over) runners Debbie McLaughlin, 48, of Williamsburg (20:26) and Mercedes Castillo-D’Amico, 56, of Newport News (20:38) getting second and third overall.


One race age group mark was broken, with Larry Coley, 65, of Chesapeake running a 20:37 to erase the previous men’s 65-69 mark of 21:08 by Ken Mitchell, 66, of Williamsburg in 2011.
The race was organized by and benefited Bacon Street, with sponsorship by Riverside Doctor’s Hospital Williamsburg and Colonial Sports.
