Light rain did not dampen spirits or slow down participants of the Third Annual Junior Soul2Sole 5k this morning (Saturday, May 16). Nineteen Columbia Central Middle School students competed in the race that started at 8:30 am at the County Park. They ran south along Ocean Beach Road, entered the Magic Forest section of the Clark Lake Spirit Trail, returned to the start/finish line.
