Runners did their best despite racing through the rain at the 25th annual Inwood 5K on Oct. 8.

Atlantic Beach resident John Phelan, 16, captured first place with a time of 18:41.75. Tom Elitz, 27, of the Bronx, place second in 18:58.63, and Jose Portillo, from the host hamlet, finished third in 19:30:82. Wantagh resident Una Broderick was the first woman to cross the finish line with a time of 20:18:29.

In addition to the 5K, children got to run around and collect pumpkins. Proceeds raised from the event support the scholarships the race committee awards to Five Towns students at the end of the school year .
