Forked River Rotary Barnegat Bay 5K Run 2002
The Rotary Club of Forked River held its annual Barnegat Bay Run on April 21st. This was the 8th anniversary of the event. It was also the third year of it being a 5K run along with a 1-mile fun run. We had 71 Finishers. 39 Males and 32 Females. We also had 7 children under the age of 16 finish the race (one took 2nd place). In past years this event has generated ample monies to fund our holiday food and gift program. Last Thanksgiving our Rotary club provided food baskets to over 100 families throughout the Townships of Barnegat, Ocean (Waretown) and Lacey. During the Christmas holiday, approximately 100 families received holiday meals and gifts for the children. This was made possible due to the community’s participation in events such as the annual 5K run and other fundraising activities that our club holds throughout the year. The 5K course runs along scenic Barnegat Bay (click here for coarse description) and offers a picturesque view of The Barnegat Lighthouse (Ole Barney). The Barnegat Bay Run is a road race with a flat, asphalt surface. This year's winner (click here for complete race results), Chris Peters of Barnegat, N.J. had a winning time of 17:16. Chris also won our race last year with a winning time of 17:21. Eleven year old Brianna Jackucewicz of Farmingdale, N.J. finished 2nd overall with a time of 17:46. Brianna also improved on last year's fifth place finish (18:23).
