The LIBERTY PARK 5K RUN was held in Liberty Park on 08-25 on a fairly fair day considering it had been over 100 for several days in a row. They usually have a new Race Director for this race every year but the same pleasant volunteers seem to be around for each running of this event. Last year’s Race Director, Susan McCullum took care of data entry both before the run and after the run. There was a lot of good food before and after the race from area restaurants and grocery stores. The winner was Peyton Shirley in 18:06 over this somewhat hilly course with Russell Placey finishing 2^nd in 18:46 and 3^rd was Joey Bole in 19:05. The 1^st Female, finishing 3^rd overall, was Erica Braswell in 18:51, 2^nd was Sarah Viamonte in 21:11 and 3^rd was Natalie Lockhart in 21:17. The 1^st Master was Bob Williams in 20:18 and the 1^st Female Master was Cindy Dietsch. There were 191 total registered (not counting the 50 or 60 kids who ran the 1 mile Fun Run).
