Mutisya wins sixth CDR title

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's fitting that Gideon Mutisya on Saturday won yet another Charleston Distance Run.

He's been a familiar figure - a 5-foot-3, 96-pound bundle of running efficiency - in the city's annual 15-mile race since first winning in 1994, and he always seems grateful for the local hospitality.

"The first time I came to West Virginia to run in this race, I won it,'' he said afterward. "And everybody in Charleston showed me kindness, and that's why I like to come here.''
