Lewiston’s Cole Olsen narrowly edged out first place in the 10K of the 46th annual Seaport River Run on Saturday.

Lewis-Clark State assistant track and field coach Clayton VanDyke, also of Lewiston, took second place and matched Olsen’s time of 31 minutes, 46 seconds, besting the winner of the previous two years, Connor Turpin, who finished third at 32:40.

AJ Sabotta of Clarkston headed up the women in the 10K race, clocking in at 47:49. Jennifer Gibb of Clarkston and Harmony Huff of Lewiston placed second and third, respectively.

In the 2.9-mile “short course,” Pullman’s Taylor Newell finished at the top with a time of 18:36. Joseph Hartwig and Isaac Armstrong, both of Lapwai, took second and third place, respectively, at 21:05 and 21:08.

The top three female finishers were Justine Delp of Lewiston at 21:57, Sydney Murphy of Lewiston at 22:06 and Jessa Hartwig of Lapwai at 22:27.

The participants enjoyed 60-degree weather with little to no wind during the course, which ran from Swallows Nest Park to the Hells Gate State Park marina.

The beneficiary this year is Ethan and Friends, a Lewiston-based nonprofit that seeks to provided a sensory gym and learning center for children and young adults. The nonprofit was formed in 2020 by Ethan’s mothe, Suzanne Wyatt Brown of Lewiston.
