As Candice Jacquemin reflected on her first in-person 5K event in more than 13 months, she couldn’t help but acknowledge a bit of a running rust she needed to work out along a flat course through the neighborhoods of Gulf Shores.
“It was exciting and exhilarating to get out there,” said Jacquemin, 26, of Robertsdale, and one of 550 participants in Saturday’s Zydeco Crawfish 5K Run/Walk event. The event was the first non-virtual coordinate running event Jacquemin participated in since the Publix Atlanta Marathon, held on March 1, 2020.
