Spc. Tyler Pitman, Army Corrections Brigade, portrays an inmate in a skit, trying to get a head start from runners who intend to catch him, before the start of the Great Escape 5K race Aug. 9, 2025, at the Old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The opening skit involving an escaped inmate is part of the race tradition, which is in its 30th year. The race route took runners past historic parts of the installation.

Participants - including parents with children in strollers, runners with dogs and even a boy on a scooter - begin the Great Escape 5K Aug. 9, 2025, at the Old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Eric Heywood rides his scooter headed for the finish line, followed by Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dodds and Spc. Matthius Lovelace, unaware of how slick the street was after a light sprinkle of rain earlier that morning, during the Great Escape five-kilometer race Aug. 9, 2025, by the Old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Heywood fell as he rounded the corner, but he did not give up - he picked up his scooter, with help from Lovelace, and finished the race. Photo by Emilio Gutierrez/Fort Leavenworth Lamp Intern
