SARANAC LAKE — Runners and walkers of all ages turned out for the annual Olga Memorial Footrace on the streets of Saranac Lake on Saturday.

The majority of participants took on the 5-kilometer distance, with 25 men and 29 women completing the run course that started at Berkeley Green and finished behind Hotel Saranac. Nathaniel Byrnes was the overall winner of the 5K race with a time of 17 minutes, 42 seconds. He was trailed by Chris McGlynn (18:03), Elijah Byrnes (19:30) and Haley Fremante (19:35), who was the first female to cross the line.

Jared Whalen won 10K race in 39:34, while Mary Kate Howard was second in 41:13 and Daniel Horan was third in 41:26.

Maria DeAngelo was the fastest walker of the day, completing the 5K course in 37:34. She was one of 10 walkers in the race.

The Olga Memorial Footrace was hosted by the Rotary Club of Saranac Lake and the Saranac Lake Youth Center. Proceeds from the race benefit local youth through increased programming at the Saranac Lake Youth Center and enhancement of the Rotary’s literacy program that intends to put a book in the hands of every child in the elementary school.
