A Run In the Sun Raises Scholarship Funds

 

 

More than 250 runners, ranging in age from 3 to 73, turned out for the 13th annual Huron Chamber of Commerce Lighthouse races on Saturday, May 7. In addition to a 10-mile scenic course around the lake, a 5K Run/Walk gave novice runners a chance to show their stuff. Balmy spring weather drew "wannabe runners" as young as 3 to the Kalahari Kids’ 1-Mile Fun Run.

Top overall finishers in the 10-Mile Race were Brian Whittaker of Sheffield Village, who finished in 1:00:58, and Nicole Shelley of Norwalk, who finished with a time of 1:11:53. Shelley, who is director at the Northern Ohio Medical Fitness Center, set a great example for fitness enthusiasts.
