5K Fun Run for Charity



Being in charge of a ward activity was not something I was expecting to be asked to do four weeks ago.  But being that I was (and then requested that the Bishopric memeber ask Jared as well so that I could have some support), I went for it.  We had donated bagels from Bodo's, donated race numbers from Ragged Mountain Running and then the many people who stepped in to organize post-race food, the egg hunt for the kids afterwards, marking the race course, sign making, and the organizing of the food donations, manning the water station, and much, much more.  It was exhausting to put together, but so worth it as the photos will tell.


We started off the events with a 3-4 year old race.  They were so excited and only a few of them went off course!


 We then began the 5-6 year old race...Jonah won and was thrilled!



Team Harris....we all completed the 5K under 31 minutes with Liam in the lead at 26 minutes and Jared coming in just under 31 minutes.  Gavin and I were buddies and came in at 29 and 30 minutes respectively (I told him to sprint at the end even though I knew I'd never keep with with this Discovery Dasher) and Caleb came in about 28 minutes.
