14-Year Old Mineola Runner Wins Award

Michael Cappeller takes third place in inaugural Five Mile Run for the Many

14-year old Mineola runner Michael Cappeller recently took third place honors in the 11 to 14 age group in the inaugural Five Mile Run for the Many, a 5 mile running race held on the scenic roads of Halesite and Huntington Bay on Sept. 7.

Cappeller earned his award with a finishing time of 44 minutes, 56  seconds, an 8:59 per mile pace over a challenging course with lots of hills.

The run was administered by the Greater Long Island Running Club for the benefit of the We are Many Foundation that aims to educate society concerning children who have been sexually victimized as well as adults who struggle in their current life from the horrific ordeal they experienced when it was done to them in their youth.
