A
large turn out of 800 or so runners participated in this year's Avon Day
5K. The race in its 13th year has grown to be a favorite at the Jersey
Shore.
The weather along the ocean front start was cool with a nice breeze cooling the runners. As the runners moved westward into town the temperature was about 15 degrees warmer and the runners felt the difference. As they proceeded back to the ocean front though it again cooled down and they were able to sprint to the finish on Ocean Avenue.
The men's winner was JSRC's Luciano Deolivera of Long Branch shown finishing on the left n a time of 16:29 and for the women it was Claire Kim of Fullerton, California shown breaking the tape on the right in a time of 18:22 .

I want to thank the JSRC and my friends and supporters for a great birthday party and helping make a dream come true. For one week I was able to pretend I wasn't sick and I got to act like a kid in Disney world. Mickey Mouse and the whole gang said to say HI !
I hope to make a couple of races just to cheer you on, I no longer can even walk a 5K. I am on hospice and pain management and have oxygen, but I still can get out when I have the energy, when I do I'll be at the races.Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. Your friendship means a lot to me. Thanks. Beth Patterson
