Over 600 athletes registered to compete in the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol’s Captain Bill Gallagher 10-Mile Island Run on Aug. 14.
The race first began in 1970, but because it was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 this year marked the event’s 50th anniversary.
While the majority of the runners were from the Delaware Valley, others traveled greater distances to compete in the race, with some listing Florida, Massachusetts, Colorado and Washington as their home states.
The overall first place winner was Kevin McDonnell, 31, of Moorestown, N.J., with a time of 56 minutes, 34.16 seconds.
Olivia DeRogatis, 26, of West Chester, Pa., was the first place winner in the Women’s Division, with a time of 1 hour, 8 minutes and 4.73 seconds, finishing 23rd overall.
Ken McKinney, 74, of Riviera Beach, Florida, finished first in the “Over 70” category, with a time of 2 hours, 16 minutes and 2.47 seconds.
