Home Run Race Breaks Record for Corporate and Community Support
By Marilyn Feldman October 16, 2005 Rockville, MD For the Washington Running Report
The week of rain came to a halt in time for the start of the
2005 Home Run on Sunday, October 16, and runners at the 10K, 5K,
and one mile fun run enjoyed a bright crisp morning - a perfect
day for a run through the rolling hills of Rockville. Corporate sponsorships raised a record $85,000 for this year's
race, which benefited the residents of the Hebrew Home of
Greater Washington and Jewish Foundation for Group Homes. Hall
of Fame sponsors included: Goodman-Gable-Gould Adjusters
International, The Tower Companies, Cherner Collision Center,
Transwestern Commercial Services, KCE Structural Engineers and
Sodexho Senior Services. The top three male and female 10K winners received cash prizes.
In the 10K race, Michael Wardian took first place with a time of
32:23. In the women's competition, Alisa Harvey took first
place in a time of 37:52. The 5K men's winner Sentayehu Mamo finished in a time of 18:22.
In the 5K women's race, Beth Santilli finished with a time of
19:16. This year was the first time these two organizations teamed up
for the race. In addition to the runners, participants included
more than 80 volunteers manning the course, many walkers and
families enjoying a 1-mile fun run/walk, moon bounce and
deejay. Chair of the 2005 event was Harvey Goodman, President
of Goodman-Gable-Gould Adjusters International.
