The annual Vineyard Run for Literacy on Oct. 14 was a big success, with 222 runners and walkers finishing the event.
All the race results, winners by age division, and finish line photos of all participants can be viewed on NorCal Timing’s Web site, http://norcaltiming.com/results/rfl_2018.
The Lake County Literacy Coalition thanks all the walkers, runners, donors and volunteers who helped to make the 29th annual Vineyard Run for Literacy a triumphant achievement.
Attendance was the best it has been in five years. Over $7,800 was raised to support the literacy programs and tutor trainings throughout the county.
