Runners take off from the starting line during the 18th annual YMCA Run/Walk Saturday morning in Marquette. The event was open to all ages and included a 10-mile, 10-kilometer, 5K and a 5K non-competitive walk, one-mile youth run and a toddler trot. The net proceeds went to the YMCA of Marquette County’s Annual Campaign Program, which allows every community member who wants to participate at the YMCA, regardless of their ability to pay.
