Eli Crupi and Skylar Tuckwood tied for first place in the 5K, each finishing in 22:00.

“We raised just over $900 this race, and $1,190 with the one in January: so just over $2000 as a race series,” Sue York, executive director of the ERLPA, said via email. “These funds will go directly to renovations, equipment, and transportation costs. Our mission is to Restore, Preserve, Share. We hope to make this an annual fundraiser.”
