BUTLER TWP — Dozens of long-time and first-time runners gathered at Preston Park for its third annual 5K run on Sunday, Oct. 22.

It cost $25 to register to run in the 5K, with all of the proceeds going to the Friends of Preston Park Foundation, the volunteer organization that maintains the park.

In total, 75 runners participated in Sunday’s race, ranging from eight years of age to 67, with the vast majority from Butler County.

The 5K run consisted of two laps around Preston Park. The runners spent the majority of their time concealed by the woods and passed by the parking lot twice on their way to the finish line.
