The 11th annual Purity Spring 5K Race at King Pine took place on Nov. 22, one of the coldest Thanksgivings on record. Ninety runners and walkers braved the temps and snow with Andrew Doherty taking first place overall in 21:20 and first place female was Haley Heinrich in 25:25.
Making it extra special was the snow cover and the snow guns in full operation at the finish! This all made for some great photos by Joe Viger which you can see psr5k.com along with the results. Race Director Catalina Kirsch says the race raised $1,500 to benefit local youth programs.
