Runners and walkers of all ages hit the streets for a good cause during the Malverne 5K Run/Walk for Education, organized by the Malverne Educational and Fitness Foundation.
Net proceeds from the Oct. 18 race benefit the nonprofit foundation, which supports youth programs throughout the Malverne school district.
The event featured a 200-meter fun run for children ages 10 and younger, with each participant receiving a finisher’s medal.
The 5K began on Wicks Lane near H.T. Herber Middle School, taking participants through Malverne, Lynbrook and Lakeview before finishing behind Malverne High School.
Angelo Breuning of Malverne finished first with a time of 20:01.86, followed by Ryan Foley of Malverne in second place at 21:07.85 and Olivia Wilson of Malverne in third at 21:17.67.
The annual race brought the community together to promote physical fitness while raising funds to support educational and recreational opportunities for local students.
