A total of 89 participants gathered near Castleview Hospital’s south entrance Saturday morning to participate in Castleview Weight Loss Center’s third annual 5K. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit Carbon Caring for Kids.
Carbon Caring for Kids is a local nonprofit, volunteer organization focused on eliminating hunger aomg youth in Carbon County. The organization focuses on students who, for whatever reason, are not receiving adequate nutrition while away from school.
While a total dollar amount from the event is not yet available, a check will be awarded to the charity at a later date. Several individuals at the 5K also donated to the cause as well.

Jacob Jewkes grabbed first in the men competition with Cezar Ruiz finishing second. Russell Seeley finished third.
Christy Engar finished first for the women. Carley Roberts and Tammy Strong managed second and third, respectively.
