JACKSON — The third annual Blackout 5K/10K, hosted by Run The Whites, at Black Mountain in Jackson on Saturday, attracted a record field that enjoyed the above-average weather temperatures for a fun night race. There were 143 runners (77 in the 10K and 66 in the 5K) this year.

Runners of all ages and abilities laced up their trail shoes to compete in either the 5K (one lap) or double their pleasure with the 10K (two laps) on a course that weaved around historic Black Mountain with their headlamps on.
