 Saturday
morning bright and early, more than 40 people gathered at the Open
Arms Christian Fellowship for the first-ever Family Fun Day 5K run.
The run was a fundraiser to help
support the annual Family Fun Day the church hosts at Scully Park each summer.
This year the Family Fun Day is scheduled for
July 20 and will feature rock singer John Schlitt, along with many
family and kid-friendly activities. The event is free to the
public.
On Saturday, runners lined up in front of
Lincoln Junior High School, just a few yards from the Open Arms church. The
race began with a pistol-shot start. Sixteen minutes and
50.08 seconds later, Jackson Johnson was the first competitor to
cross the finish line, more than three minutes ahead of all others.
Johnson was awarded the best overall trophy
during the pancake breakfast that followed the race.
