THOMASTON — On Sunday June 6th, 123 people got “Back on the Support Trekkers,” running or walking the race virtually or in-person. It was the largest attendance on record for Thomaston Trek and many participants remarked on how great it was to be together again. Virtual racers were able to join in at the same time, as Trekkers livestreamed the starting horn on their Facebook page. It quickly turned into a sweltering hot day, but the general vibe was cheerful, as people gathered under the shade trees by the parking lot. The sunny day quickly turned hot, reaching over 80 degrees.
Once the race was started, in-person racers took to the historic streets of Thomaston, starting and finishing at the Thomaston Public Library. Two barefoot runners bravely enduring the hot pavement and all were cheered on by the volunteers who held up hand-drawn posters to encourage racers. Water stations were provided during the race and at the end. Thomaston’s own Flipside Coffee generously 150 muffins and coffee, which racers enjoyed as they gathered to hear announcements and prizes. Top finishers received buttons and gift cards to Maine Sport Outfitters (who also generously donated to support the race.)
Prizes were given to: Thomas Meehan of Portland who came in first overall for the 5K run and the 18+ category, finishing in 21:02; Siena Scordino of Rockport as the first female 5k finisher (3rd overall) at 22:19; Joey Scordino of Rockport won the under 18 Male category at 27:15, and Jala Tooley of Camden clocked in at 24:05 and was our fastest over 18 female finisher. Virtual finishers included top finisher Jaime Gregory of South Thomaston at 30:00, Maggie Gregory of South Thomaston at 32:31, and Chase Gregory of South Thomaston at 34:00.
