The East Hampton Village Foundation’s 5K run and walk happens on Saturday, starting at Main Beach at 9 a.m.
Advance registration costs $33.80 (including online fees) through tomorrow at by clicking here. On race day it rises to $44.15. The route mimics that of the May Day 5K, passing the estates along Ocean Avenue, Lee Avenue, Apaquogue Road, and Lily Pond Lane, and with the leaves at their fall peak, the course should be especially pretty.
There will be medals for the first 100 finishers.
From the late 1980s until the early 2000s, it would not have been unusual to see Sigrid Owen near Fort Pond or Hook Pond — large net or perhaps a bag of cracked corn in hand — on a mission. Ms. Owen, who would have been 98 on Feb. 7, died on May 23 of last year.
Most women don’t realize cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. That’s why the American Heart Association named the first Friday of February National Wear Red Day, and offered lessons on hands-only CPR at places like Scoville Hall in Amagansett last week.
