Eighty-eight runners raced down Canyon Street in downtown Carlsbad Monday night to kick off the annual National Night Out activities with a 1-Mile Fun Run. The race was organized by the Carlsbad Community Anti-Drug/Gang Coalition in partnership with the Cavern City Running Club. Music was provided by G-Money, and after the race, Sarina’s Donuts donated treats to all the participants, while members from the Permian Basin Regional Training Center performed fire extinguisher safety demonstrations. Face painting before and after the race was provided by Unique Creations Face Painting. Medals were awarded to all racers 12 years old and under. Fire extinguishers, donated by Devon Energy, were awarded to the first place male finisher, Kevin Merkling, and the first female finisher, Michaela Johnson. On behalf of the organizers, a big thank you is extended to all the sponsors listed above, as well as The Carlsbad Police Department, Eddy County Sheriffs Department, and The Athlete’s Foot.
