The 5th annual Pyro\u2019s Push-It-Up Trail Run took place along the Buford Road at the Flat Tops Wilderness Area on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
The race features a distance of 2 miles, which is a family fun run and walk. There are also more competitive and challenging distances of 5 and 8 miles. The race is run each year in honor of former New Castle resident and fighter pilot Captain William \u201cPyro\u201d DuBois who passed away while defending the United States of America. A record field of 124 participants showed up for this year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n
