ONEONTA – Participants of the 3rd annual Turkey Trot wrote the names of loved ones, inspirational messages and prayers for sick or deceased family and friends on hundreds of biodegradable balloons which were released into the air before the start of the race this morning.
After an hour and 24 minutes of determination, Matthew Levinson, a student at Oneonta Job Corps Academy, crossed the finish line of his first race, the Mother’s Day 5K on the runway at the Oneonta Municipal Airport. Runners who had already finished ran back out to walk with him and support him all the way to the end. In total, 227 people participated in the race on the tarmac, including U.S. Re. Chris Gibson, R-19, with opening remarks from Olympic runner Tony Staynings. (Ian Austin/allotsego.com)
The Annual Cider Run at the Fly Creek Cider Mill began like any other, but as runners began to cross the line in opposite directions, it was clear that somewhere on the course there had been a wrong turn! As more runners came in the issue seemed to correct itself and had many runners laughing. Despite everything, the weather was clear and crisp for the hundreds of runners who turned out to run in the crisp spring air. (Ian Austin/ allotsego.com)
