Instead of dodging traffic through downtown Prince Frederick as they did the previous years, the participants of the 2013 Run to End Hunger traversed The Calverton School’s cross country course. The Saturday, Oct. 19 run through a mostly wooded venue attracted over 70 entrants.
The 5 kilometer (K) event is sponsored by End Hunger in Calvert County. Race director Jacqueline Miller reminded the runners and walkers that $20 of their entry fees will help feed a family of four for a whole week.
Austin Dice, 21 of Chesapeake Beach, was first to cross the finish line. Dice’s winning time was 18 minutes and 35 seconds. Finishing second was Shane Martz, 31, who logged a race time of 19 minutes and 36 seconds. Nathan Laborie, 33, finished third with a time of 20 minutes 49 seconds.
Laura Osborne was the top female finisher, completing the 5K in 24 minutes and 24 seconds. The second-place female was Tina Thompson, with a time of 24 minutes and 37 seconds. The third-place finisher among females was Debra Spatz, who completed the 5 kilometers in 25 minutes and 43 seconds.
