The 31st annual Fall Fitness Run was held on Saturday morning, November 23, at the Elementary School in Baxley. Dawn Melton, race director, was thankful for the safety of all participants and the extremely large and enthusiastic crowd. There were 265 finishers in the mile and 211 that finished the 5K, for a total of 476 finishers. This was the first year to have over 200 finishers in the 5k resulting in a record number of participants. The 60 degree weather was perfect until it started to rain, but fortunately it was after the mile and near the end of the 5K.
