The race, which took place at the elementary school on Smith Ridge Road, allowed parents and students alike to participate in a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run.

"It was an extremely successful event for the PTA and brought out more than 100 people in very chilly temperatures," said Joanne Hasko, who co-directed the event along with Rebekah Habinowski. "We hope that this will become a tradition that continues for many years."

Money raised during the Sunday race -- named after the school's mascot, Max the Moose -- will go toward future educational enrichment opportunities, Hasko said.
