Blue Bell 5K and 1 Mile Kid's Race


The Barron family earned their just desserts at the Blue Bell race on Saturday, April 18 in Brenham, Texas -- home of Blue Bell ice cream.

Out of the 178 kids ages 12 and under participating in the 1 mile race, amazing brother-sister duo, Lane and Hannah Barron took 1st and 2nd respectively. Lane outran the entire field posting an amazing 6:11 mile.

Hannah finished first for the girls and second overall in a time of 6:29. She easily held off the other 27 girls ages 10-12 who competed in the event.

Among the field of 1,164 competitors for the 5K race were mother-daughter duo Carolyn and Katherine Barron. Katherine finished 7 out of 88 in her 11-19 age group with a time of 24:28 (7:54 pace). Carolyn placed 9 out of 145 in the 40-49 age group with a time of 26:48 (8:36 pace).

Carolyn reports that it was a very hilly course for both races, but they loved the unlimited ice cream offered at the finish!!
