Participants in Vancrest first-ever fun run and 5K nearly froze Saturday morning, but hot chocolate and coffee made the event bearable considering the temp was about 50 degrees lower than what has been the norm this fall.
Youngsters crossing the finish line won baskets of prizes in categories for boys and girls in many age groups.
The adults in the 5K portion had a spirited run, too, with Ada Police at the entrance to Vancrest at SR 81 keeping everyone safe.
