Coffee-O-Five

Falmouth, MA, June 20, 2003

Largest Field of the Year for Pre Summer Solstice Run

It was sunny and warm for a change at this week¹s Coffee O Five and 54 runners and half a dozen walkers took part in the event. It was the largest turnout of the year. The Elm Road water stop was operating in full force this week, which is a sure sign that it is summer. Bill Solimine ran a perfectly paced race and his winning time of 27:58 was the second fastest time run on the course this year. Dave Stuebe of Woods Hole finished in two ticks over 32 minutes which was a personal best time for him and good enough for a third place finish. Justin Neviakas edged Mark Hurrie of fourth. Lynn Holmgren notched another win with a strong effort of just over 33 mintues. Jess Baker recovered from a fine effort at the Vermont City Marathon earlier this spring to finish second. Ms. Baker finished in 34:08 with her young dog in tow, no actually the young dog finished in 34:08 with Ms. Baker in tow. Lindsay Ruthven took third in 35:27 and Tobe Marsden edged Kristina Harvey for fourth. The Coffee O Five is a weekly five-mile race and 2.4 mile walk that is held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There is no entry fee for this self timed event and all runners and walkers are invited to participate
