Meager Field at Post Turkey Day Coffee O
November 28, 2003

Thanksgiving was a busy day for running on the Upper Cape. The
Thanksgiving Day Chase the Turkey Run at Falmouth Academy had a record field
of over 160 runners, and the We Gather Together 5K in Sandwich had a record
field of over 1400 runners. That left just 10 weary runners and four walkers
who were motivated enough to run off their Thanksgiving feasts at the next
day¹s Coffee O Five.
Duncan Smith-Rohrberg ran uncontested to a three-minute victory with
one of his best five-mile times in a while. He finished in just under 31
minutes. Brandon Dugan edged Peter Murphy for second. Juliette White of
Wellesley was fourth over-all and the first woman to cross the line. Brian
McDevitt dipped under 39 minutes for his first time en route to a seventh
place finish. Sixth place finisher, Bob Richards, was just off of his
personal best five-mile time. Joanne Corsano and Carolyn Bird rounded out
the women¹s field.
The Coffee O Five is a weekly five-mile run and 2.4 mile walk that is
held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There is
no entry fee for this self-timed event and all runners and walkers are
welcome to participate. Reflective running gear is required through the
winter.
