The Start of the Annual Paws for a Cause 5K

A nice crowd of runners participated in the second annual Cause for Paws 5K held at Winding River Park in Toms River.  It was a steamy morning with warm temperatures and humid conditions as the runners made their way through the park in the out and back course.  The overall winner shown on the left was Geno Molino of Pine Beach in a time of 17:41.  For the women it was a virtual tie with Karen Charles of Belmar and Diane DiOlivera of Brick both breaking the tape at 19:51.

After the 5K there was a 1.5  Mile Dog Walk where many owners walked the course with their best friend.

After the race there was a silent auction where many valuable items were auctioned off.  

Congratulations to Race Director Amy Nalven and all the enthusiastic volunteers from the Ocean Pet Caring Foundation on another fun and successful event.

Among the many club finishers were:  Rohan DeFonseka 22:49

Summer Series Week 6

Youth One Mile Results - Women's 3 Mile Results  - Men's 3 Mile Results (complete series results now posted))

The Start of the One Mile Kid's Race

The weather has played a part in this year's summer series with some threatening skies, some thunder showers and some hot nights.  This past Thursday was no exception but all the races went off pretty much as scheduled and everyone appeared to have a fun time as usual.  The Kid's Half Mile went off without any rain as did the mile race.  In the Mile race the Matt Nelson was the first overall finisher wrestling overall first place from the girls who finished 1,2, 3 last week.  For the girls it was Maura Peters who was first and fourth overall.

Just after the 3 mile race the skies opened up and a down pour of very heavy rain chased the runners for protection either in their cars or under the protection offered by several of the buildings at the Complex.  But almost as if on queue the rain came to a drizzle a little bit after the scheduled 7 PM start and the runners took off and by the time the racers finished the course the rain had stopped. In the 3 mile race the first place finisher for the men was Bob Horn and for the women it was Noel Brock who was third overall. 

Clarence Lurch again dominated his age group of 80+ to finish first in that group.

The series concludes next Thursday with our traditional Handicap race in the three mile race.  Runners will be assigned a start time based on their fastest time of the series.  The first (slower) runners will start at 6:45 PM so try to get to the complex early so you can get your start time and be ready to run at your assigned time.  We will run the course in reverse - finishing on the soccer field where we usually start.

The kids half mile and mile race will start at 6:30 and 6:45 respectively as usual.
