RUN FOR A REASON START – At about 8 a.m. Saturday morning, July 22, Emcee Travis Farran gave the countdown and sent about 100 runners on their way for the Run for a Reason 5-K and about 200 walkers on a shorter course. The hill on west Spring Street is just steep enough to give everyone a cardio workout. The path to the finish line on Jackson is a long incline down hill which makes up for the challenging start.
