Large Walker Turnout at Coffee O Five

The walkers returned in force this week to the Coffee O Five, as eleven walkers legged it out for 2.4 miles. Forty-one runners completed the five-mile run. Rob Flaherty and Dave Farrell were the early pace setters. Mr. Flaherty hung on for a third place finish in his first Coffee O Five of the year. Mr. Farrell hung on for a fifth place finish in just under 34 minutes. Ben Garfield of Medfield finished strong to take fourth in a time of 33:22. Peter Landry finished a lucky thirteenth in his first race as a forty-seven year old, which means he must have had a birthday earlier in the week. The first three women dashed into Town Hall Square hot on each others heels. Robin Price of Palo Alto California sprinted out to an early lead with a very quick first mile. She hung on in the end for a third place finish in just over 34 minutes. Margaret Bradley came from behind and finished first for the women with a time of 34:08, just 5 seconds ahead of Lynn Holmgren. Stace Beaulieu chalked up her personal best five mile time en route to her fourth place finish. She finished in 35:30. With the cooler nights of fall approaching she should have a shot at 35 minutes. The Coffee O Five is a weekly five mile run and 2.4 mile walk which is held at 5:30 PM from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There is no entry fee for these self-timed events and all runners and walkers are invited to participate.
