Local Runners Participate in Sandy Hook Run for the Families

On Saturday, 32 local runners joined a crowd of about 15,000 to run in the Sandy Hook Run for the Families, a 5K race through the streets of Harford that benefited the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.

The event raised more than $438,000, according to organizers.

Prior to the race, a moment of silence was held as a bell tolled 26 times to honor the 20 children and six educators killed in the attack on Dec. 14 in Newtown.

Photos of the race will be posted on Capstone Photography's Facebook page soon.
