Fraire, Reynolds take titles at inaugural race

By Doug Hawley

Gilberto Fraire, who emerged the overall winner Saturday morning at the first Family Promise Run For Hope, has established himself as a quality runner in a short time.

“This is my first year to run,” the 21-year-old 2007 Dalton High graduate said moments after finishing the tough 5-kilometer course in 18 minutes and 2 seconds. “I didn’t know that I could run. I started running in February.”

When not running some 25 miles per week, the 5-foot-7, 132-pound Fraire helps his father, Juan, in various maintenance duties.

Tracee Reynolds, 33, another Dalton High graduate, paced the females in the 3.1-mile race at 23:44. Action started and ended at First Baptist Church of Dalton, with several challenging hills along the way.

“I run a couple of 5Ks each year,” the homemaker said. “I run about 30 miles a week.”

This marked the first overall victories for both performers.

There were 76 5K finishers and about the same number in the preliminary 1-mile walk/run sponsored by Family Promise of Whitfield County, which helps various needy groups in the area, including the homeless. Carpet Capital Running Club handled logistics for the event.

Age group winners:
