Village2Village race draws hundreds

An early start didn’t deter runners from the Village2Village Run in Lane Parke on March 9. Hundreds of racers and a “herd” of Chick-fil-A cows showed up for the 7.5K and 10K races’ 7:30 a.m. start.

Race participants had a Pilates warm-up and visited vendor tents within Lane Parke prior to the race. The start and finish was in front of the Grand Bohemian Hotel, with the course winding through Mountain Brook.

After the race, participants enjoyed music, carnival games, kids’ activities and refreshments such as chocolate-dipped strawberries and mimosas, as well as awards for the top finishers.
