The third annual Run for Sight 5K road race was held April 28 at the Embarcadero Marina Park, near Coronado Bay, Calif.

Entry fees for the race go to support and further the research efforts of the Eye Bank Association of America.

The race was held in conjunction with the spring symposium of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.

James Cope from Albert Lea won the race in a time of 17:08 which was a few minutes slower then his personal best time of 14:53.

Cope felt it was a respectable time considering the double-loop course contained 24 corners. He has qualified and is currently training for the Bolder Boulder 10K race to be held in Boulder, Colo. on Memorial Day. The Bolder Boulder race annually attracts over 50,000 runners from the United States and around the world.
