Over 3,000 registered runners and about 3,500-4,000 spectators came out to Jones Beach in Wantagh this past Monday evening for the annual Long Island State Parks Summer Series run.

The run was originally scheduled to be 5 miles but was reduced to a 5K (3.1 miles) because of the chance of rain. Awards were presented to the three male and female finishers in various age groups.

Riley Masters was the top male finisher crossing the finish line in 15 minutes. Stephanie Braun was the top female finisher.
