The first Pinkletink Pace 5K kicked off on a dreary Saturday morning with the runners winding through West Chop in a loop that began and ended at the West Chop Club. Lee Greathouse finished first for men with a time of 16:31, and Corinna Black took first place for the women with a time of 24:57.
Rene Da Silva came in right behind Mr. Greathouse at 16:48 to snag second, and Jack Lionette finished third at 18:56.
Sydney Brown placed second for the women with 25:35, and Catherine Coogan came in third with a time of 25:58.
The race was sponsored by the Martha’s Vineyard Hurricanes Youth Running Club; proceeds will benefit the Xuchang Orphanage in China. This was a special fundraiser for the club, as one of its members lived at the orphanage. The Hurricanes are going into their second year, and serve as a middle school feeder program for the high school cross-country and track teams. They plan to add the Pinkletink Pace to the annual events on Martha’s Vineyard’s spring running-season calendar.
