The third annual Bulldog 5K and Fun Run saw just over 100 runners come out and run for a great cause. The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), partnered with the American Heart Association on the event

Early in the week, the school was worried about the weather, but Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day and perfect for the runner

Ritchie Bowling, Howe Assistant Superintendent, said that he was happy with the turnout because of so many other things going on locally

"We appreciate all the volunteers We had the Howe Police, HHS Students, athletic department, and many Howe ISD staff and parents ensuring everything went well "

Bowling, who coordinates the event says that they reached their goal of raising $1,000. The 4th annual run will have a new coordinator due to Bowling accepting the superintendent position at Maypearl ISD

The final results and each runner's times will be posted early this week on the school's website at wwwhoweisd net
