SOUDERTON — Hundreds of running enthusiasts of all ages braved the 86-degree heat Tuesday evening to participate in Souderton’s annual Moyer 5K Run.
The race kicked off at the Souderton Community Park, with a giant American flag hanging over the start of the course. Along the route, sweat-soaked runners were greeted by lines of cheering spectators and refreshing sprays of mist from local fire trucks as they raced to the finish line.
Top finisher was 24-year-old Connor McMenamin with a time of 15:13. The fastest female was 33-year-old Jenn Cronin with a time of 18:06. Prizes were awarded to McMenamin and Cronin as well as the top finishers in each age bracket.
The event also featured a Kids’ 1K Run, with volunteers distributing medals to the children as they crossed the finish line.
Following the races, runners and spectators cooled off in the park with live music and refreshments, including water ice from Lindy’s Italian Ice, pizza from Lisa’s Pizza & Restaurant and craft beer from the Branch Creek Tap House.
Proceeds benefit Souderton Area High School Cross Country Track scholarships and the Keystone Opportunity Center.
