WHEELING - While the course was different, the Debbie Green 5K Run and Walk had the same result as in previous years - another success and another close race.
Demesse Tefera and Daniel Kipkoech ran shoulder-to-shoulder for nearly 2 miles before Tefera pulled ahead with about 100 meters to go to win the annual race with a time of 14:20.

Kipkoech was second at 14:25.Read More
