Race supports veterans’ groups

ELLSWORTH — Mount Desert Island area runners were among the many who traveled to Ellsworth in Saturday for this year’s running of the Veterans Remembrance Road Race.

The race is organized by the Down East Family YMCA and portion of the registration fees support veterans organizations.

The overall race winner was Judson Cake of Bar Harbor. Cake posted a time of 21 minutes, 30 seconds to finish a whopping 2:16 ahead of the nearest computer, Buster Brown of Lamoine.

On the women’s side, the island area had two of the top competitors with Laura Driscoll (11th place) finishing with a time of 32:34 and Lisa Tweedie (12th place) finishing in 32:49. Two Jackson Laboratory employees, Lisa Kearns and Christa Brey, placed 13th and 16th, respectively.

Brey was also the top female veteran in the race, which featured a total of 15 current or former military members. A second MDI area veteran, Thomas Bosch-Willett of Southwest Harbor, placed 37th with a time of 40:11.
