SIERRA MADRE CELEBRATES

B3


In Sierra Madre, on the nation’s actual birthday, Thursday, July 4th, 
the day started witha 5k Firecracker Fun Run sponsored by the Spero 
Foundation. This was the third year for the event. According to Bill 
Coburn’s website, “there were a couple new twists. In order to make 
the run an official 5K, the starting line was moved back. In order to 
run more smoothly, as well as to give runners that were trying to run 
against the clock a better shot at an orderly start, there were two start 
lines, one for runners and one for walkers..” “...And, there was a time 
clock at the finish line, so while the race kept no official times, the 
runners and walkers could see their time as they came across the line. 

 About 200 people registered to run the race, up from about 175 last 
year.
