April 19, 2005 – To celebrate National Library Week, V.I. Pace Runners and Friends of the Florence Williams Public Library teamed up for the 23rd annual Run to Your Library race. The 3.1 mile race was won this year by Juan Robles with a time of 17 minutes and 56 seconds. Tesha Distad won for the women with a time of 22:47.
Robles, a bronze medal winner in the 2004 CARIFTA Championships 3000 meters, and currently the top high school distance runner in the Virgin Islands, had no challenge as he held a brisk pace down King St., up Company St. and through the newly renovated Sunday Market Square. Mike Klein, in the final stages of training for the upcoming triathlon, was second in 18:59 to make his goal of sub-19 minutes. Richard Jean-Pierre was third in 20:05.
Tesha Distad, also training for the triathlon, was the first female to finish the race, her time was 22:47, just barely ahead of Earthla Augustin who was second in 22:54. Louise Stapleton was third in 24:57.
First place finishers won medals, a subscription to Running Times Magazine, certificates signed by the Governor of the Virgin Islands, special library bookmarks and free library cards.
