Barnegat Bay 5K Run 2003
The Rotary Club of Forked River held its annual Barnegat Bay Run on April 27th. This was the 9th anniversary of the event. It was also the fourth year of it being a 5K run along with a 1-mile fun run. We had 45 Finishers. 22 Males and 23 Females. 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 150 families throughout the Townships of Barnegat, Ocean (Waretown) and Lacey. During the Christmas holiday, approximately 180 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 17:24 Chris also won our race last year with a winning time of 17:16. Twelve year old Brianna Jackucewicz of Farmingdale, N.J. finished 2nd overall with a time of 18:25. Brianna also finished second last year with a time of (17:46).
