Zach and Steph Ridgway of the Brook Highland community were the top male and female finishers at the Save the O's 5K in the Greystone community in Hoover, Alabama, on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.
A Brook Highland couple dominated the 2019 Save the O’s 5K in the Greystone community Saturday morning.
Zach Ridgway was the overall winner of the 5K with a time of 18:39, while his wife, Steph, was the top female finisher and fifth overall, with a time of 22:09. Their two young children, Zeke and Zander, cheered them along on the side of the road as they made their way through the residential community.
In all, there were 119 participants in the 5K and 44 in a 1-mile fun run, organizers said.
The races, which began and ended at the Greystone Golf and Country Club, raised more than $38,000 for the Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer Foundation, which uses the money to pay for ovarian cancer research and raise awareness about the risks, symptoms and treatments of the disease.
The event, now in its 15th year, is held in honor of Lori Johnson and included a silent auction.
