Alberton hosts annual All-School Fun Run
The start line of the All-School Fun Run is inflated Thursday morning at a new course in Alberton. A couple miles west on the north Frontage Road is where around 300 students in Mineral County ran a mile or a 5K, depending on the grade they are in. (Monte Turner/Mineral Independent)
After five years of organizing the All-School Fun Run, Amy Park of the Mineral County Health Department, carries clipboards, radios and safety vests to the volunteer sign in a large meadow where the inflatable finish line is being pumped up.
“About 300 kids are on their way right now, and what a perfect day to have this,” as she looks at partly cloudy skies and 64 degrees at 9:40 a.m. on Thursday, May 16.
The three county schools rotate hosting the event which Park guesses has been going on for 15 or 16 years, and this year, Alberton had a new course to run.
