This year, 130 participants joined the 2023 Pineway Ponds 5k Run/Walk presented by Ogden Parks and Recreation and the Kiwanis Club of Spencerport. It was a beautiful fall morning, and the perfect start to a busy Ogden Saturday 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 three male and female finishers were:
Male
1st – Eric Richmond
2nd – Kevin Sheehan
3rd – Michael Richardson
Female
1st – Erin Hammond
2nd – Erin Dragon
3rd – Maggie Serapilio
The top two male and female finishers in several age brackets were also recognized. The event featured participants from five to 88 years old.
