Run for the Ranch Marathon

Human Interest Story

Although the winds howled along much of the course at the Run for the Ranch Marathon, the sun shone and the temps hovered near 45 degrees. The 2:30 pm race start allowed for near perfect conditions for the charity race.

"Best day you could imagine" for races at Run for the Ranch Marathon.

Hundreds of runners from across the country gathered to run distances from the 5K to the marathon to raise money for the Good Samaritan Boys Ranch just south of Springfield, Missouri. The races consisted of multiple loops through the Phelps Grove Park area.
