NEW BETHLEHEM – Junior Achievement hosted their annual 5k Color Run Saturday, May 21, in New Bethlehem. The run utilized the Redbank Valley Trails Association’s trail starting in New Bethlehem.
Runners and walkers came out and enjoyed the day, getting covered with color powder and generally having a great time.
Race timing was conducted by Miles of Smiles and medals were awarded to the top three men and women finishers. The top male finisher was Nathan Dongilli with a time of 19:23. For the women, Janelle Pezzuti finished first with a time of 26:28.
Event proceeds benefit Junior Achievement of Clarion County, which works with local schools to provide children kindergarten through 12th grade the basics of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness.
The event was proudly sponsored by Community Action Inc., Primary Health Network and the Clarion Chamber of Commerce. Photos were taken by Sandor Cserr and more are available on their Facebook page, Clarion County Junior Achievement.
