The weather may not have been ideal but it was awfully close and a great improvement over last week as over 200 runners took part in the 13th annual Monster Dash. Milton resident Mark Vernazza finished first for the men, covering the 5K course in 19:52. Maryanne Allen was top woman with a time fo 21:19 (whew – that’s fast).

The Monster Dash, held by The Milton Foundation for Education, honors Sam Cichello, a Milton boy who died in an accident. The proceeds are used to fund science education in the schools.
