The Jefferson Rotary Club hosted their annual Father's Day Dash 5k fundraiser and Free Kids Run on Sunday June 18th on a perfect morning.
This was their biggest turn out to date with over 125 runners hitting the streets of Jefferson on a tour of the beautiful community. This run just added to the already exciting weekend with GOBA (The Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure) and the Strawberry Festival.
The morning started with the Kids Free 1/4 mile Dash around Giddings Park! It was a blast to watch!
The 5k Dash started right after the Kids Run with an overall Male winner of Gavin Hodge with a time of 19:12 and Female winner Kathleen Pierce with a time of 22:59.
There were age group awards for the 5k and all runners received a Commemorate Soup Mug and voucher for free cup of Ham and Bean Soup in October!
