More than 50 runners participated in the 2nd annual Rallye Group Clocktower Trot on Sunday through the Village of Roslyn.

Samuel Kaplan, 20, the son of Roslyn Chamber of Commerce board member Barbara Kaplan, led the pack in finishing the four-kilometer race in about 16.5 minutes. 

East Hills resident Lisa Hiller and Dr. David Wertheim finished first in the over-50 age category.

“With the beautiful foliage and historic Roslyn Village as a backdrop, it was impossible not to have a great time,” said Matthew Weiss, the race’s founder and director.

Kaplan, Hiller and Wertheim each received free memberships to LIFT Gym. 

The race’s sponsors included the Rallye Motor Group, Northeast Federal Credit Union and City Sports.

The pack of about 55 runners trekked through the Roslyn Village, passing the Roslyn Clocktower, Gerry Park and  several historic homes built within the last two centuries.

Delicacies Gourmet provided free coffee and bagels to the participants. Metro Physical & Aquatic Therapy offered the runners massages upon finishing the race.
