SARANAC LAKE — The annual Olga Memorial Footrace was held on Saturday in Saranac Lake. More than 100 runners and walkers of all ages turned out for the event.

The footrace featured three divisions — a 5-kilometer walk, a 5K run and a 10K run. Most participants typically take on the 5K distance and this year was no exception. There were 67 people who completed in that distance on the run course, which started and finished at Berkeley Green between Main Street and Broadway in Saranac Lake.

Thallus Attaway of Happy Valley, Oregon won the men’s 5K race in 22 minutes, 8.93 seconds. Saranac Lake native Kristin Meissner was the women’s winner, finishing in 24:26.56.

Tupper Lake high school junior Jonah Kendall won the 5K walk in 39:04.02 and Barbara Fieldson of Massena followed behind in second in 41:05.18.

Recent Saranac Lake high school graduate Max Hall was the overall winner of the 10K race, clocking in with a time of 43:46.4. Clara Balandreaud of La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France was the top women’s finisher in 44:03.3.

The Olga Memorial Footrace was hosted by the Rotary Club of Saranac Lake and the Saranac Lake Youth Center.

The race began in 1998 to help Olga Figueroa, a Saranac Lake native, pay for her cancer medical treatments. Figueroa was a fitness enthusiast and a National Race-Walker for many years. She participated in dozens of national and local races for the benefit of many individual and not-for-profit organizations. She died in 1999 and the event now raises money for local youth programs.

Proceeds from this year’s race benefit local youth through increased programming at the Saranac Lake Youth Center and enhancement of the Rotary Club’s literacy program, which aims to put a book in the hands of every child in the local elementary schools.
