About 350 people ran in the Gasping Gobbler 5K Road Race to benefit Cony High School athletics in Augusta that started and finished at Cony High School.
Recent Cony grad and University of Miami runner Luke Fontaine, was the first male finisher and Betsy Burke, of Boston, was the first female finisher.
There were food prizes for age group winners. First place got a turkey, 2nd Place got a pie and 3rd place took home dinner rolls. There were trophies and a complete meal for the overall male and female winners.

Amy Lawson drives 3/8 inch sheet metal screws into a teammate's running shoes on Thursday morning before the Gasping Gobbler 5K Road Race to Benefit Cony High School Athletics in Augusta. The screws are short enough that they don't go through the shoes and the heads give traction like studded snow tires on the icy roads.
