The 2024 Pineway Ponds 5k Run/Walk, presented by Ogden Parks and Recreation and the Kiwanis Club of Spencerport, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. It was a beautiful fall morning on September 28 as runners and walkers completed a 3.1-mile course over two bridges and through the streets of Ogden and Spencerport before being welcomed across the finish line with cheers from fans and supporters. The top 100 finishers were treated to unique wooden medallions as they crossed the finish line.
The Top 3 male and female finishers were: Male: 1st – Greg Selke, 2nd – Jordan Hill, 3rd – Joshua Harter; Female: 1st – Rosa Mykyta-Chomsky, 2nd – Erin Dragon, 3rd – Maggie Serapilio. The Top 2 Male and Female Finishers in several age brackets were also recognized. The event featured participants from 8 to 90 years old.
Many volunteers contributed to the success of this event, including the Ogden Police and Special Police Departments, Spencerport Fire Department, and Gates Ambulance. Paul Pakusch from TallPhotos.com captured the smiling faces of participants crossing the finish line. The race was timed by Robinhood Racing. Partial proceeds from this year’s event benefitted the Willie Bee Foundation.
