Beautiful Day For A Run

On a pleasant, sunny morning in Becker, 62 runners  - most decked out in brightly-colored green apparel - ran a 5k course through the neighborhoods of Becker Saturday in the annual Becker Community Center Chase a Leprechaun Fun Run/Walk.

Jess Babler was the first male to cross the finish line in a time of 18.37. The first woman was Gina Vanselow at 21.56.
 
Organizers of the event had to scramble in the days leading up to the event, getting extra snowplows and scrapers to smooth out the trail so runners would have a safe trail to run. The weather was clear for the day with temperatures in the low to mid-20s for the race that commenced at 10:30 a.m.
