2006 Post Race Wrap-Up...
Jonathan Severy of New York City won the inaugural Flying Point 10K for Autism Awareness at Flying Point Beach in Water Mill in a blistering 34:01. Two of the top three overall finishers were women with Julia Stamps finishing second with a time of 37:41 and Bea Petersen in third at 38:53. Rounding out the top 10 were Mike Bottini in fourth, Marcus Sanders, fifth; Kevin Krause, sixth; Rick Burlew, seventh; Barbara Gubbins, eighth; Jon Mallon, ninth; and Caroline Bierbaum, tenth.

The first in what is to become an annual East End tradition, the race raised $14,000 for the Cody Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities. Besides its generous sponsors, the event was made possible by a slew of volunteers.

Following the exciting 10K race there was a fun 50-yard dash for children under age 10. The winners were Sandy Cuomo, age 10; and Ben Howard, age 9. They each won a gift certificate to Double Rainbow toys in Water Mill, which also generously offered free ice cream to anyone who stopped in the store and had participated in the race. All the children went home with a Spookley the Square Pumpkin goody bag that included the book, DVD, stuffed Spookley and a light toy, donated by the author, Joe Troiano.

This year's sponsors, headlined by Vox Magazine included Maran Corporate Risk Associates; Lexus of Southampton; Rafferty Capital Markets; Hamptons.com; Breakwater Design; Norsic Sanitation, East End DJs & Entertainment; and Manhattan-based Really Cool Foods. Steaz Green Tea Soda gave away samples of its organic soda.
