Nick Scott (35:09) and Sarah Scudder (50:43) were the top male and female finishers in the 10k race, while Maclean O'Donnell (16:59) and Katherine Gibson (20:09) were the top male and female finishers in the 5k race during the 34th annual Rocky Coast Road Race held in Boothbay Harbor June 28.

The Boothbay Region YMCA, which sponsors the race, reported that 177 runners participated in the two races (run simultaneously) and over 60 people participated in the walk and Kids' Fun Run.

With temperatures in the high 70s under bright sunny skies, the event was a bit warmer than when the races were held during the first Saturday in May. The event was changed this year to be included in the Windjammer Days festival schedule. The Y reported that participation was up over 100 percent from the 2013 race.

The only issue during the event, according to the Y, was the change in time for the Kids' Fun Run, which was scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. (after the start of the 8 a.m. races), but didn't get started until shortly after 9 a.m. Some parents participating in the races commented that they wouldn't be finished racing to see their children run, so a last-minute start time change was made, to the chagrin of other parents who had expected the 8:30 a.m. start. The YMCA said it would plan accordingly for next year's event.

Prizes were handed out after the events and Maine Running Photos website (www.mainerunningphotos.com) has posted hundreds of photos of the events which can be downloaded for free.
