Some area residents gathered Wednesday at Oconee Veterans Park and joined the nationwide effort to "Run for Boston."
The purpose, according to a Facebook Page by the same name, was for "runners, non-runners, and people who believe in hope and peace to "run together as a sign of solidarity for the people and runners of Boston."
The Page had over 23,000 likes as of 10:30 p.m. and photos were pouring in from around the country. The images will be compiled into a book and mailed to Boston.
