Defending champions once again topped the podium at Sunday’s Hector Harvest 5K, held amid the scenic vineyards of Dalrymple Farm. Runners and walkers from across the region gathered to support the Hector Area Lions Club, enjoying harvest season sights and the scent of Concord grapes.
For the fourth straight year, Nathan Triner claimed the overall male title in 17:22, while Leslie Dubrava secured her fourth consecutive female win at 23:27. Notable runners included 11-year-old Morgan Saks (25:21), Joyce Morgan (25:32), and top male finishers Nico Piacentini (20:32) and Jared Peters (20:33).
Age group winners ranged from young athletes like 14 & under champions Catherine Caslin and Logan Saks to 70+ victors June Szabo and Charles Fausold. “All proceeds directly benefit local causes,” said a Lions Club spokesperson. “We’re gearing up for next year’s race and look forward to even more participants!”
