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.

Chris Whitfield: Braves lose again, but special moment is a winner
When I’m at a sporting event but not specifically covering that day’s game, I don’t like sitting in the press box. So on Memorial Day at Turner Field — I was working on a feature on St. Louis Cardinals reliever and Dalton native Mitchell Boggs; the story will be published later this week — I decided to explore a little bit, see the sights and feel the atmosphere of the game.
