Sun "Shines" With Five Points Coverage

My hometown newspaper Gainesville Sun, notorious for generally ignoring our own local area's running races over the years, finally saw the light and chose to give some decent, respectful coverage to a major, popular local sporting event: the annual LifeSouth Five Points Marathon/Half-Marathon race, held yesterday morning. Not only did they feature a Saturday article, but also one in the Sunday paper on race day. But the real test would be whether they actually reported on the results Monday: this they did with gusto. Not only was there a long article about BOTH the marathon and half-marathon, accompanied by a listing of the top 25 finishers in each event, but also there was a teaser photo of the race on the front page. Now if they can only stick with this pattern of race coverage! Kudos to them! Here's a link to the article.
