Larchmont 5K Sets New Pace
16 Jun, 2012
By Polly Kreisman
The Larchmont Village 5K had been a local tradition for years until 2007, when dwindling participation and increased expenses led to its demise.
Until now. With fresh energy from a new recreation committee, generous sponsors and over 500 runners, the tradition was reborn Friday night as the Sprint to Flint. And it may have been the most successful ever.
About 350 children participated in a 1 mile “Fun Run,” all receiving First Place ribbons, and 229 people ran a 5K course through the Flint Park area and Larchmont Manor, timed by the Westchester Runners Club.
Burgers and dogs followed and the bar was open at the American Legion Post 347.
Committee chair Kate Verni said she was “thrilled” with the turnout. Trader Joe’s donated apples and bananas. Larchmont Wellness hosted post-race massages for participants. Equinox ran a stretching station.
Below the photos are a list of race winners and organizers. And please send photos of the adult race…I was too busy running to shoot…

It is a very sad state of affairs when, even at the local level, we allow the elected elite to dictate whom we should vote for. I hope people will take the time to learn about the two candidates and make their own decision based on their personal evaluation. Read carefully, Myers says she did a lot of work and preparation to pick her predecessor and that she didn't know Tom was interested. How would anyone know she was not running until she announced it? Tom Murphy is a fine candidate and I hope people will take the time to hear what he is all about.J Mill says:
Let's be clear - the truest thing he said was "spoiled brats". A bus full of evil kids from Scarsdale who were chucking stuff at the bus driver? I'm sure their parents were nowhere to be found. Rich, entitled kids showing a lack of respect for their elders and making fun of people in less-than-white collar jobs.Cabby says:
With Parker having the support of Otis, Myers, Latimer and Bramson, Tom's chances of winning a primary are slim to nothing.Cabby says:
And Petco was a Duane Reade for a very short period of time. What were they thinking when they opened across the street from CVS?WTF??? says:
closing Weaver Street Bridge before the school year ends ? how did local officials let THAT happen ? INSANE. I saw that children will still be able to walk but still crazy, they are going to have the mother of all traffic jams on Chatsworth bridge and Rockland won't be much better ...crazy they could not schedule this for July/ August / wait just three more weeks.J.

Agreed. Breast cancer (like all cancers) does not care what your economic or social circumstances are. And the fatality rates are inversely related to access to medical care (preventive care and treatment). And that access has both a geographic component and an economic component. And also an education component. None of that should be the case. But it is. Jolie is in fact brave, for bringing her experience public even though it will negatively impact her sex-goddess status, on which she relies for her profession. There are a lot of people on this planet working to increase access to cancer treatment. My own efforts, humble though they are, have mostly been via the Komen organization (which, despite "political" problems, still gives more to BC work than any group on earth). We just have to keep plugging away at it. There's really no choice. Everyone can contribute something. What Angelina Jolie has contributed is huge, even if she does nothing else (which I doubt). Respect, for that.
