Becca Hitchcock led 23 runners, including seven Tustumena Elementary students, to the finish of the 2017 Tustumena 5K Fun Run on Saturday in the cold and rain in Kasilof.

Hitchcock crossed the line at 21 minutes, 55 seconds, while Sean Goff was second at 21:56 and Shari BeDunnah came in third at 22:34.

Proceeds from the race benefit student activities at Tustumena Elementary. JoEllen Fowler, race director, said local businesses like Sweeney’s and Kaladi Brothers made generous donations to the cause.
