Campbellsville University Phi Alpha Theta Historical Society recently hosted its first 5k historical run and walk. The race journeyed around some of Taylor County's historical sights.

Runners received a course map before the run to explain the historical significance of the sites they would pass during the run.

Runners were also able to look at old photographs from Taylor County, dating back to the Great Depression.

The $650 collected went to the Taylor County-Hiestand House Museum.
