Law Day 5K Run/Walk Event

Some raced for medals and some walked for fun, but regardless of motive - everyone had a great time at the ECBA’s 5th Annual Law Day 5K. Under semi-sunny skies, over 300 participants tracked the downtown Erie trail on Saturday, May 3, and raised over $13,000 for the ECBA’s Attorneys and Kids Together Program (AKT).
