Rain and brisk temperatures didn’t dampen the annual Coyote Chase Race Saturday at Weatherford College.
Hundreds of runners raning from school age to seniors gathered for the 5K and 1 mile race event.
The race is held each year as a fundraiser for the WC Foundation.
“It’s a tradition for many of our area runners, especially the elementary schools, to run the Coyote Chase Race,” said Brent Baker, race director in a press release. “We have runners of all ages competing, and we always have a good time.
This year’s school challenge drew runnds from Weatherford High School, Brock, Crockett Elementary, Tison Middle School, Ikard Elementary, Austin Elementary and Mary Martin Elementary.
“We had nearly 200 people in our school challenege and about half of them came from this school in Weatherford - Mary Martin Elementary,” Baker said as the students cheered and ran to accept their trophy. “Congratulations. Thank you so much.”
Each race was broken down into age and gender categories. Trophies were given to the top three finishers in each grouping. All children 12 and under recieved participation ribbons, and all runners received a Coyote Chase Race T-shirt and other goodies.
