Yes, it was hot on Memorial Day – but that didn’t stop the running community from taking part in the 5th Annual Kevin Gatons’ Memorial Day 5K. Check out the galleries below (I’ve highlighted some of my favorites) and contact me for ordering information. All proceeds benefit the Gatons’ Scholarship Fund.

Overall winners of the 5th Annual Kevin Gatons’ Memorial Day 5K included Zach Hebda (left)and Cheryl Gatons (right).

The start of the race…

Mr. Rich Wright — his help throughout everything has been invaluable. Paul Henry, our starter, can be seen in the back right of the photo as well. Thank you to both for all of your help!
