PORT JERVIS, NY — The Tri-State Chamber was proud to present the 19th annual Tri-State Classic Race on Sunday, October 26, which included 10k and 5k races. The runners gathered in Riverside Park in Port Jervis amid the beautiful trees filled with color, to get runner tags and collectible T-shirts, and then made their way to the starting line on Jersey Avenue across the railroad tracks. The races had participants from as far away as London, New Hampshire, Philadelphia and metro New York—all to celebrate the sport of running, and many to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. A portion of the race proceeds will be donated in support of this cause.

The first-place winners of the overall 10k race, male and female, were David McCarey, 35 minutes 23 seconds; and Julia Warren, 40 minutes 40 seconds. The first-place winners of the overall 5k race, male and female, were Michael Bell, 19 minutes 17 seconds; and Jillian Reich, 26 minutes 22 seconds.

“We are proud of our region and are thrilled to showcase all the great things we have to offer to visitors, and the race is the perfect opportunity for others to appreciate why we choose to live and work here in the tri-state area,” said Charlene Trotter, executive director of the Tri-State Chamber of Commerce.
