| Pine Beach 5K |
 |
|
The Ocean Running Club was well represented at the 11th Annual Pine Beach 5K on Sunday. Some warm weather and some hot racing makes this one of the largest 5K races at the Jersey Shore. Close to 1600 runners cruised the quiet streets of Pine Beach, finishing along the Toms River. It was nice to see so many ORC racing singlets lining up for the race and walking around the field after finishing. Allen Wagner was the overall winner in a time of 14:57. Toms River's Noel Brock was the first female to cross the line with a winning time of 17:34. Congratulations to Sally Kalksma for putting on another successful event. It gets bigger and better each year with her hard work. For complete results, check out the Pine Beach 5K Results page.
