Food trucks and kids activities were held as well, all to raise funds for cancer research.
“People come out because they want to honor those fighting,” Tammy Fox, activities leader, said. “They want to remember the people that they lost. There’s a lot of cancer patients who would love to walk one more time in the rain.”
“If the worst thing that we get is wet this weekend, so be it,” Fox added. “They go through much worse than we do.”
Relay for Life runs through 11 p.m. Saturday, with survivor laps and the Luminaria Ceremony, where illuminated paper bags and lanterns will be decorated and lit in honor and in memory of lives touched by cancer.
