As the sun rose above campus Sunday morning, hundreds of runners were already milling about the Colonial Life Arena.
They’d come for the annual Red Shoe Run, which benefits the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Formerly the Red Nose Run, the 5K and 10K events are in their seventh year.
Nearly 400 runners and walkers combined finished the races, which were emceed by Columbia TV personality Joe Pinner.
The charity supports families whose children are hospitalized with serious injuries and illnesses.
