For the second straight year Mark Bahnuk of Hackettstown won the Annual Leprechaun Leap, sponsored by Picatinny Federal Credit Union, on March 16. But the real winner was Hackettstown Regional Medical Center's Joan Knechel Cancer Center.
Despite a chilly day at the International Trade Center, hundreds of participants turned out for the 5K race and helped to raise $2000 for the Cancer Center. The International Trade Center Alliance together with the Mount Olive Mayor's Wellness Council hosted this year's Leap.
Tom Quigley, Business Development Manager for Picatinny Federal Credit Union, was elated with the turnout of 462 runners and the money raised.
"It was a great day all around," said Quigley. "It may not have been picture-perfect weather but the runners showed perseverance in giving it their all for such an important cause. I know that Picatinny Federal Credit Union is truly proud to be part of this event. In fact, more than 50 percent of our employees volunteered their time to help out. You can't say enough about the people who work for us. They are community-minded."
Bahnuk finished first in a time of 5:06, 10 seconds better than he did last year. Bahnuk finished just ahead of 15-year old Nicholas Salek of Morris Plains. Budd Lake's Mark Lorello was third. Glenn Oakley of Blairstown and Jon Harper of Phillipsburg, respec-tively, finished fourth and fifth.
On the female side, Christine Scheuch of Vernon was first, followed by 12-year old Katlyn Rohsler of Fredon. Laura Furfaro was third, Joelle Fair took fourth, and Mary Sullivan of Succasunna was fifth.
