ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Kimberly Ruck began the national holiday with a quick trip around the 5-kilometer course on the beautiful Furman University campus to win the  women's title in the 7th annual Red, White and Blue Shoes road race. Her time of 16:29 shattered the previous record of 16:58, set by Asheville's Kate Schwartz in 2016. Ruck's time is the fastest women's road 5K time for 2017 in South Carolina. Pending a review of course certification it could be considered as a new South Carolina State Record.

The men's winner was local standout and Clemson athlete James Quattlebaum with a fine time of 14:35. The event attracted 1331 entries and had 1253 finishers. 

ASICS GTC-ELITE's Alison Parris traveled to Kernersville, NC for the holiday and completed in the 22nd annual Rotary Club of Kernersville's 4th of July 5K race. Parris placed 5th among a quality field of women runners with a time of 17:23 and earned $100 for her efforts.
