Run, run Rudolph!
A mild fall evening welcomed some 190-plus participants last Friday night to J.R. Martin Park in Republic for the annual Reindeer Run 5K. The fantastically decorated park, adorned with Christmas lights and decor made a perfect backdrop for the annual affair. Steffi Weaver, with the Republic Parks and Rec. Department, said runners varied in age from 8-70 years old, and were given the option of donating a gift to People Helping People to defray the registration fee. Reindeer runners, some in Christmas gear, cross the start line.
Even the registration booth at a pavilion was decked out. Participants were treated to snacks and beverages after finishing the run, while winners were given medals, plaques and apparel. (Photos by Ryan Squibb)
