5K to benefit Derby schools wins support

Derby resident Kiley Drezek, 10, nears the finish line Saturday at Derby's B.E.S.T. 5K Run/Walk.

DERBY - The city's four public schools received a lot of enthusiastic support Saturday.

Runners from the Valley, Bridgeport, Bethany, Cheshire, Hamden, Middletown, Milford, Naugatuck, Newtown, Prospect, Suffield, Waterbury, West Haven, and Diamond Point, N.Y. took part in Derby's B.E.S.T. 5K Walk/Run.

The runners were joined by walkers of all ages. Derby teachers and administrators took part in the fun. 

It almost made me want to take up running. Almost.
