Registration topped 450 for the event, with runners from 72 different communities – some as far away as Ontario, Canada and Oregon. The Kids’ Fun Run had 82 runners.

The event had special significance this year as the Plymouth Fire Department celebrates its 50th anniversary. Engine #1 came out of retirement for the event and firefighters from the 1960s shared stories from the early days of the department.
