Christian Lumenello's Lifeguard 5 km Dash on Ogunquit Beach

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must KEEP MOVING.
-Albert Einstein

So many people find pleasure on Ogunquit beach.  This morning there was a 5K race in honor of a lifeguard who lost his life. Hundreds gathered for this festive 5 kilometer run on the sands of Ogunquit beach.

Christian Lumenello was a lifeguard that passed tragically. This was the 3rd annual run that raises thousands of dollars for lifeguard services in Ogunquit.

The weather was overcast and humid, but that did not stop over 300 runners that ran down the beach through tide pools and uneven sand! Once again, elite runner Bobby Winn placed first with an amazing time of 17 minutes and 8 seconds. Bear in mind Bobby is 55 years old!

I placed third in my age category, with a time of 21.30 ( definitely not my best time).

Lobster Dash 5 Mile Race

The Lobster Dash was held today on Ogunquit Beach. This unique race is a 5 mile race at low tide on Ogunquit Beach. The day was perfect: not a cloud in the sky, no wind, sunny skies.

At the end of the race participants receive a medal, and lobster roll.  Pre-registered runners get a cool shirt.

I ran this race, and placed 14th overall and 3rd in my age category. My time was 35.11/ pace of 7.03 minutes per mile.
