One hundred thirty-five runners made it to the finish line of the annual Oak Bluffs Columbus Day 5K, Sunday, 41 fewer than last year. It was a benefit for the town's affordable housing program.

It was one minute faster than Edison Parzanese's best in 2005 - 16:55.

The rest of the top 10 runners were (3) Scott Bosworth, 43, Hingham,18:38 (4) Paul Vertefeuille, 43, Oak Bluffs, 19:00 (5) Alex McCluskey, 39, Vineyard Haven, 19:25 (6) Ben Williams, 18, Vineyard Haven, 19:47 (7) Jeremy Tarter-Alley, 11, Oak Bluffs, 19:49 (8) Chase Disher,15, Elmsford, N.Y., 19:51 (9) Jeffrey Mader, 51, Sudbury, 20:22 (10) Joseph Schroeder, 44, West Tisbury, 20:28.
