Congratulations to 20-year-old Jose Velasquez of Old Westbury, who was the overall winner of the third race in the 2016 Jonas Chiropractic Run Nassau Series, held on Thursday, June 23 on the grounds of the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.
Velasquez covered the 3.107 mile course in 16 minutes, 59 seconds, giving him a winning margin of more than two full minutes over runner-up Joe Flick of Farmingdale.
The Jonas Chiropractic Run Nassau Series is co-hosted by the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums and the Greater Long Island Running Club (GLIRC). The goal of the series is to show off the great parks of Nassau County as outstanding places for runners to gather, and it has certainly met that goal in 2016.
The final race in the Series will cover 4 miles at Eisenhower Park on Thursday, July 14. Registration is still open for this final race and the great post-race party that will follow it. Call the GLIRC at 516-349-7646 for more information. —Submitted by the GLIRC
