A festive group of runners participated in the Solstice Sweater Shuffle on Saturday at the King Salmon Shelter at Lena Beach, marking the shortest day of the year one with cheery holiday colors.
The Juneau Trail and Road Runners event featured a four-mile and one-mile race. Both races were on an out-and-back course, with holiday cookies featured at four aid stations along the route.
Brandon Ivanowicz (age 43) was the top male four-mile runner in 25 minutes 44 seconds, and Katelyn Schultz (24) the top female and fourth overall with 28:41.
