A diverse group of visitors came to participate in the first annual David's Run for Autism. Some registered and ran either the 5k or 3k races. Others jogged casually through the courses. Despite the differences in paces, smiles and conversation throughout the crowd seemed to indicate a good time was being had by all. (Photo by Merrle Chapman)
