Despite rain soaked roads the Run For the Arts had great attendance! The Kid’s Café 1 Mile began with three trumpets playing “The Star Spangled Banner” with Raider Red and the Quick Quack Duck in attendance. The 1 mile Kid’s Café Run started at 8:00am and had 68 finishers. Starting at 8:30am, the 15K and 2M had 160 finishers. There were three new records, all in the 2 mile: Jake Brownfield with a time of 12:56 in the Male 6-12 age group, Amanda Boston with a time of 13:03 in the 25-29AG(and new overall female record) and Iris Rivero with a time of 13:08 in the 35-39AG. It was an exciting time at the finish line as these were the top three finishers with Amanda just seconds in front of Iris. Way to go! Please thank all of the wonderful volunteers that made the day run smoothly!
