Running in the Rain

The 24th annual Bendix Eagle Run met with pouring rain last Saturday at the high school. But spirits were not dampened as several hundred runners took part in 5-Mile, 5K and 1-Mile races. The Avon Eagle Run is an annual event benefiting the Avon Schools Educational Endowment Fund, French Creek Family YMCA, and other local charities. Held at Avon High School, various running and walking activities are all part of the fun. Participants enjoy a community atmosphere with amenities such as race t-shirts, awards, and post-race refreshments. The event is organized by Hermes Sports & Events, and participants receive a well-organized experience with opportunities for awards across multiple age divisions.
