Despite temperatures that nudged the 90-degree mark, more than 500 people took part in the Falcon 5K on Sunday.
The annual event, sponsored by the Albany Booster Club, featured a 5K race followed by a 1-mile fun run in Washington Park.

You also can check out a Facebook album of photos taken before, during and after the Falcon 5K. (You don't need a Facebook account to view the pictures. A window may display the text, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log in or create an account," but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
The Albany Booster Club was created in 2000 by parents to provide financial assistance and support for extracurricular activities in the City School District of Albany.
The mission of the City School District of Albany is to educate and prepare all students for college and career, citizenship and life, in partnership with our diverse community. The district serves nearly 9,700 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students, including four themed academies at Albany High School.
