Ryan's
Run 2006 - Thunderstorms Couldn't Keep the Runners Away
The
Ryan Andrew Kaiser Memorial Foundation in conjunction with
the Jersey Shore Running Club held Ryan's Run on Saturday
June 24, 2006. For the third consecutive year, the event was
a hit, bringing runners from all over the country and raising
money for the RAKMF.
This
was the first year where rain played a critical factor. Although
torrential downpours kept many runners away, the rains stopped
an hour before the race began and began again just as we were
finishing the awards ceremony. However,Ryan's
Run attracted over 450 participants.
245
runners completed the 5k and over 100 children competed in
the kids races. Our sponsors and the great group of competitive
runners that join us each year create a terrific and special
running event. "The 5k event that includes a scenic cross
country loop is one of the best race courses I have ever ran",
said Diane Petruzzelli of Lincroft NJ who finished in 19:08.
"This
is one of the most organized events of the year, and the setting
for the pre race party, and awards ceremony on a private farm
makes it a great place to bring the kids", said Nancy
Aboff of Llyod Harbor NY.
