Westbury resident and ultra distance runner John Cantwell recently won a six-hour race in Queens. Cantwell ran the 38.25-mile race in six hours on a two mile loop course. The race was sponsored by Vitality Spa and Fitness in Westbury where Cantwell works as a personal trainer.

Cantwell and other runners and walkers participated in the race to help raise more than $2,000 for the School for Down Syndrome in Bethpage. Proceeds from the event will help the school purchase supplies and other needed items for the children.
