More than 200 runners came out for the Flagler Sheriff's PAL Hot Pursuit 5K and Block Party Saturday, April 19.

Palm Coast’s Jose Musso took the overall win with a time of 18 minutes and four seconds and Carrie Meng, of Flagler Beach, was the first female finisher with a time of 20:27.

The evening race, which started and ended at European Village acted as the main fundraiser for the PAL scholarship program, which makes it possible for children to play sports who cannot afford the registration fees. This was a first time event, and with its success, organizers plan to bring it back year after year.

The race was coupled with a block party and Easter egg hunt in hopes of creating a fun family atmosphere and to bring business to the European Village.
