Bear explained. "We were blessed with that and with people giving the change of tneir registration (for the run) to go to the FCDC, so 100 percent of the registration money will go to the FCDC." Bear said "it was a lot of work" to bring the project to fruition but that "it was all worth it." Last year the NHS raised about S6OO with the dance and with taking donations at a basketball game. Because the "Run Run Rudolph" event was for charity, no prizes were given but runners were given their times to use as personal accomplishments or guidelines for the future. Walkers and runners were given the choice of the 3K (1.9 m) course or the 5K (3.1 m) and included people of all ages and even some of their pets most sporting the event T-shirt as well as antlers, red noses or other

Wyatt said he thought he might've even ran 600 meters further than the 3K required but that it was okay, even if he did have to run through and around puddles and sticky mud. Sonya Wolfe and her daughter, 10-year-old Whitney Wolfe came in third (Sonya with 16.43 minutes) and second (Whitney with 16.42 minutes) places respectively, Whitney's first run being at the Nappanee Apple Festival last year. First place winner in the 3K, Krissi Ernst of Lakeville, said she thought she might've gotten a time of 14 minutes but wasn't sure because she continued on and also completed the 5K immediately afterward.

Justin Bell was the first male to come in from the 5K (at 20.5 minutes) and Jeff Stueve came in second (with 21.13). The first female in from the 5K was Erin Stickley (with 21.43) followed by Bear's mother, Lisa (with 27.10).

Krista said this was Earl James' (who finished before his mother and siblings) third 3K walk/run with mom.
