That day, 146 runners supported the center as they ran in the cold weather. With about 30 more registrants than last year, the race raised more than $8,600 for the Chester County Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. In first place overall was Drew Williams. In second place overall was Eli Combs. In third place overall was Silas McManus.
