On a crystal-clear autumn Saturday, 288 officially entered runners and 73 officially entered walkers — and many more participated without registering — took to Island roadways yesterday in the 25th annual 5K Run/Walk.

The event benefited charities to bring awareness to and fight breast cancer.

We’ll bring you more on the race on this site and in Thursday’s print edition of the Reporter.

Here are some photos of the race by Adam Bundy.
