Description

WDF Logo

Lisa Unger is the director of this quality event that celebrates women in sports. The women often outnumber and out run the men in this race through Indian Head Acres. It has a unique twist in that the women start 5 minutes before the men. The 2012 women’s winner ran 17:05.88 for a new course record. Kayleigh Tyerman apparently did not think that was fast enough and in 2013, she ran with the men and smashed the 17:00 mark finishing in 16:51. The race began with Dot Skofronick and Shirley Bull as race directors in 1982.

The pediatric unit at TMH is focused on providing superior care to children from newborn to adolescents in a 17-county region in North Florida and South Georgia, and is the largest in the Big Bend area where children receive care. In partnership with Florida State University, TMH offers art and music therapy to pediatric patients of the Children’s Center.
