The Start of the Liberty Natural Gas Boardwalk Relay Against Hunger
Over 100 teams participated in the First Annual Liberty Natural Gas Boardwalk Relay Against Hunger held in Asbury Park, NJ. Due to the severe weather the night before and flooding in the Casino on the Boardwalk the course had to be adjusted with runners going south through Ocean Grove and turning around in Bradley Beach. The weather held of during the race with only a slight mist which made for some good running along the flat and fast ocean front course.
The Open Men's Winning team was Ther Brick Dragons in a time of 54:15, the women's winning team was Sherry Sikora of Red Bank who ran as an individual in a time of 59:26 and the mixed winning team was the Buckler Varsity in a time of 1:11:22.

It Never Rains on Brielle Day
At least never on the Brielle 10K

Photos of All Finishers in Time Order
They say "It Never Rains on Brielle Day" and that saying held up again this year despite some serious threats of rain to include remnants of the Hurricane Hannah coming up the coast. The day before most people would never had thought that the string of rain free days would have held up - but the sun actually poked out between the clouds just after the start. However the runners may have welcomed a few drops of rain on the hot, humid morning particularly as they made it up the hills of Brielle. The course may be one of the toughest 10K's in New Jersey.
The men's overall winner was Dave Slovinski of Point Pleasant pictured finishing on the left with Race Directors Jack and Diane Cheer holding the tape in a time of 33:16 which was only a few seconds over the course record. For the women it was Heather Parks of Bruceton Mills, West Virginia in a time of 39:04 .
Many random prize awards were presented, age group and overall awards to include Brielle Residents were also awarded after the race.
The Giant Arts and Crafts Fair went on as scheduled with the traditional beer garden and lots of tasty things to munch on.
Congratulations to Jack and Diane Cheer and all the volunteers for a great event.
