A half marathon and 5k runs completed the trifecta of seasonal races on Sunday, Sept. 3. The event was coordinated by the Boothbay Region YMCA as part of Wellness Week, a component of Harbor Fest. Proceeds benefited the fight against diabetes.

Eighty-four runners completed the half marathon in spite of confusion over the course, which led some runners to take a wrong turn near the start.

“We will make it good for them,” said YMCA race coordinator Andy Hamblett, who said it was up to the runners to preview the race map.

Overall top finishers were David Whitt (1:26:37), followed by John Copeland (1:41:44) and Danny Huang (1:41:49). Top woman’s finisher was Amy Galse of Long Island, New York at 1:57:28.

Alan Surette was the overall winner of the 5k race with a time of 19:59. Top woman’s time was clocked by Sidney McCarren of Wiscasset, 22:26. Overall, 122 runners in eight categories took part in the race. Late-arriving race medals for all participants will be mailed, according to Hamblett.

Wellness exhibits including yoga and massage were available to runners and the public at the high school football field. Further wellness events will be held throughout the week, according to event coordinator Lori Reynolds.
