COEUR d'ALENE — For someone who's a cyclist, Josh Thompson is a pretty good runner.

The Coeur d'Alene man won the 46th annual Tesh 5K Fun Run on New Year's Day in 19 minutes and 36 seconds.

"Awesome course, people were helpful, perfect temperature," Thompson said.

The out-and-back course on the North Idaho Centennial Trail started and ended at Atlas Waterfront Park.

The race is a fundraiser for Tesh, which helps people with disabilities develop skills and learn to live independently.

Thompson led a field of about 160 people on a 35-degree, cloudy and gray Sunday morning.

He said he's not really a runner, but is taking a break from cycling as he prepares for the upcoming competitive season.

Still, Thompson came in hoping to win and did, with no one in sight when he crossed the finish line.

"It was great," he said.

Austin Shockey of Liberty Lake, who is in the military and is stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base, was second. He enjoyed his first time in the Tesh 5K.

"I loved it," he said. "I love running."

Ray Matis of Hayden ran with his dog, Lilly.

He competes every year in the race, which used to be known as the Hangover Handicap, was 5 miles and went along Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive. Sunday, he pushed a harder pace over the shorter distance and finished in 28:42.

"Not great, but good," Matis said.

Jann Kinnard ran wearing a penguin suit her daughter Sierra wore for her Halloween costume about 15 years ago.

"This is supposed to go down to my feet," she said of the costume that hung to her knees.

Still, Kinnard felt festive with it on. She waved as she ran and did a penguin strut as she finished.

"I got some smiles," she said.

Husband Jeff Kinnard joined her, as did their son, Jim.

"I was shooting for less than 10-minute miles and I got it," Jeff Kinnard said.

Jim Kinnard, a recipient of Tesh services, was also pleased.

He recalled that temperatures were near zero degrees for the 2022 event.

"Way warmer than last year," he said. "That was fun."
