On behalf of the Committee for last Sunday’s second Constitution Challenge 5k race/walk at the Wayside Inn, I want to express my sincere appreciation to all who participated and helped with  this unique race which celebrated the 125^th  anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution and which  will provide a $1,000 Scholarship for a deserving Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School student. This year’s winner was Neil Lawson who is attending Cornell University.

Families enjoyed watching the Kids Fun Run (where everyone received a prize) and the raffle. The runners and walkers praised the peaceful, pleasant course on a glorious September morning. A variety of complimentary drinks and refreshments added to the enjoyment of the event. The overall winners were Michael Clements who beat his time of last year by 1 minute with 17:08, and  Jennifer Spencer who also bested last year’s time by 1 minute with 22:18.   

Other first- and second-place winners included:

• MEN 18 and under: Nick Adams and Ross Elkort
• MEN  19-29: David Power,
