The Friends of the Rockport Public Library’s Donut Dash 5K Family Fun Run/Walk was held at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 14. For a third year in a row, the event took place in cool and misty weather — conditions that participants claimed were “perfect for running.” The race was run by 214 people, with a few dogs and babies in strollers mixed in.

The overall male and female winners of the race were Sam Tooley, 17, with a time of 16:57 and Isabella Anderson, 18, with a time of 20:14. The following are the male, female, and nonbinary winners from each age group.
