The race, hosted by the Riverhead Administrators Association, is a raises money for the union’s college scholarship fund.
The event honors the memory of deceased members of the school community and their families. More than 25 student volunteers helped with set-up and production, Burke said.
Teachers and staff obtained donations of baskets and other prizes from local businesses which were raffled off at the conclusion of an awards ceremony in the high school gym following the conclusion of the race.
