A record field for the 29th Brew Run with 1,415 sun scorched finishers. Reigning Pub Queen Christin Doneski rallied against reason (stay at home, corral the kids, cajole the hubby and pack for the next morning’s vacation trip to Maine) and instead made the 3-hour commute to Brewster from Hopkinton, NH.

Christin kept the golden Pub chalice from the lips of localite and Chatham Harbor 10K winner Karen Freidman by 9-seconds. Yah! On top of a large seascape painting, Christin won (ironically) a $100 Gulf gas card in the raffle while also creating a gulf between the 1-2 spots in the Series as silver medalist Meaghan Shaw was out with an injury.

Senior stalwart Sue Kenney was also on hand but sitting out with injury, and “top of the leaderboard” Eileen Troy was at her son’s fiancee’s bridal shower. Thus, the biggest movement in the standings was in the Senior division as both Claire McManus and Sue Maslowski moved past Troy. County Clare Claire was shilling race apps for Sean Doherty’s “Women Running Wild” 5K in Osterville after the race, and as a semi-regular at Doyle’s, is right at home roosting in the top spot of the Pub Series.

Next Pub Series run is on September 16, at the Shipyard Brewery in lovely Portland, Me., Portland Trail to Ale 10K.
