Bobby Aswell Jr. of Cornelius started his new year with a victory in the first Tightwad 5K, a no-entry-fee road race through the streets of Davidson on Sunday morning. He was clocked in 19:07, crossing the finish line on the Davidson Village Green two seconds ahead of Jeremy Alsop of Mooresville. Julie Alsop of Mooresville won the women’s division, finishing fourth overall in 20:56.
New Year’s morning offered beautiful weather for a run. As the race started on South Street near the Stowe’s Corner building, the temperature was around 50 degrees. The race was limited to 40 entrants (there were 33 finishers).
It was a test run for Davidson Timing LLC, a new Davidson company founded by local residents Dave Munger, Chad Randolph and Todd Hartung. The company hopes to fill a need for timing and finish line services as more community organizations stage road races around the region.
