With nearly 400 runners, pork burgers, watermelon, water and ice cream, the Flora Hog Jog proved successful for the organizers on Saturday, June 15.
For the competitive races, Blake Mills from Flora took the top spot for male runners in the 10K with a time of 33 minutes and 59 seconds, and Emily Herron of Seattle, Washington took the top spot for female runners in the 10K with a time of 43 minutes and 44 seconds. For the 2-mile run, Blake Milles snagged the top male spot with a time of 10 minutes and 9 seconds, and 13-year-old Lillian Weigh snagged the top female runner spot with a time of 13 minutes and 13 seconds.
Participants in the races received a free hot pork burger sandwich, watermelon, water and ice cream for their efforts.
Community members were also invited to support the Carroll FFA through its pancake and sausage breakfast following the 2-mile run and 2-mile walk, kicking off just before the 10K run and concluding after the runt jog.
The community was invited to tune in for the Hog Jog live radio broadcast on WILO 96.9 FM, 1570 AM and Boone 102.7 FM from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and visit WILO’s own Cindy Loveless for their chances to win prizes.
The live remote broadcast was made possible by Rinehart Realtors and Auctioneer, Mann Chevrolet, Collisions Unlimited, Hufty’s Alignment and Radiator Services and Fire Pizza in Flora.
