The 39th annual Rocky Coast 10k /5k on Saturday, June 29 in Boothbay Harbor was a huge success with over 137 runners.

Elijah Caret, 18, won the men’s 10k (38:54), Emily Lewis, 28, won the women’s 10k (44:35), Alexis McCoy, 35, won the women’s 5k (21:27) and Tanner Tanter, 43, won the men’s 5k (22:24). Information on the runners’ town of residence was unavailable.

Race director Lisa McIntosh said via email, “We couldn’t do this without the help from our sponsors- the First, Dead River, J. Edward Knight and Knickerbocker Group. All our proceeds support our LIVESTRONG program for cancer survivors that is offered twice a year. The next session will be in September, facilitated by our two certified LIVESTRONG instructors, Lori Murray and Debra Lewis.

“We also want to thank all the volunteers, YMCA staff, Boothbay Harbor Police Department, paramedics, and the town of Boothbay Harbor. Without community support this event could not take place and we are very thankful to be participating in Windjammer week.”
