The weather was warm with a slight breeze. People, who had waited more than a year to resume normal activities, were anxious to begin again. Combined with a worthy cause, they made perfect conditions for the first annual Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Run, held April 24 in Riverside.
Two hundred thirty-two runners and walkers of all ages participated in the 10k/5k event. The benefit road race was one of a number of events planned to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the historic lighthouse.
