Due to an untimely rain shower, The Store opened their doors to allow the Red Bluff Classic runners to receive their placings and medals. From left, back row: Jack Morris, Duke Morris, Jonathon Dotter, Hannah Schutz, Jan Eden, Tom Gregory, Christa Friare, Tino Friare, Brent Gordon, Hannah Greenlee, and Lee Elder. Front row: lKelly Mitchell, Kari Nixon, Floyd Dotter, David Dotter, Brooklyn Dye and Payton Dye.

Thunder, lightning and rain kept several runners in their PJs sipping coffee, but not everyone. Around 20 folks showed up to run the Red Bluff Classic 5K/Fun Run Saturday morning, Aug. 17.

The Red Bluff Classic is a fundraiser sponsored by the Freedom Schools athletic department and is traditionally held the last day of the Freedom Rodeo. For a small fee, runners compete in different age divisions and win medals for placing first through third and receive a souvenir Red Bluff Classic T-shirt. Last year there were over 50 competitors.

The course starts at the Freedom Rodeo grounds and finishes on Main Street. The 5K goes across the bridge and back, turns down Main Street and circles the park, finishing by The Store on Main Street.
