9.27.25 York, PA—Nicole Register, 22, of Jacobus, PA who has placed well in previous editions of the York White Rose Run 5 Miler, took the women’s division in 31:25. The new course features middle miles in Prospect Hill Cemetery (yes, hills). It’s an historic cemetery with old and new, with a 9-11 tribute and a solemn monument to fallen firefighters and police officers. The course started on West Philadelphia St. over the Codorus Creek (why is this not a river?) and finished at it’s usual North Beaver and Philadelphia Street finish line.
Frontrunner AC runners dominated the elite field as the first four athletes who broke away from the rest of the field run for the same group. Joey Datta of Edison, NJ won the White Rose Run in 24:28. Michael McCann of Moscow, PA was second for the second year in a row, in 25:18. Cole Stanchina of Easton, PA was third in 25:25. Dan Forry of Columbia, PA, the 2024 champion, was fourth in 25:52. Alex Pearson of Hummelstown was fifth and top master in 27:49.
Kelly Rose of York was second in 32:58. Kristin Snyder of Camp Hill was third in 33:27. Katie Fuller of Mechanicsburg was fourth in 33:41. Amanda Cario of York was fifth in 34:09. Allison Lawruk of Camp Hill was top master and eighth overall in 34:51.
230 runners finished the 2025 race, which has been held annually since 1977. The race was held with precautions in 2020, much to the delight of the runners themselves and the downtown merchants. The only missing year was 2017, which caused the York Road Runners to gain ownership of the event. Kudos to race director Karen Lam-Duckett and her many volunteers, and to the Bell Socialization as a strong partner.
