RENO â Participants at the fourth annual Live United 5K Run/Walk faced an uphill trek followed by a brisk headwind Saturday morning as they made their way around the Pine Ridge Golf Course in Reno.
âWe had a great showing today with over 50 runners and walkers,â said Jenny Wilson, director of the United Way of Lamar County. âI would say the majority are walking, so never be afraid to come out.â
Wilson estimates more than $4,300 will be added to United Way coffers as a result of the roughly 3.1-mile event.
Paris High School junior Adam Hartman took the first place medal in menâs competition with a time of 20.45 followed by Prairiland High School senior Edwardo Banda with a time of 21.19 for second place and Osvaldo (Chato) Viveros with 22.36 for third.
