DAVENPORT, Iowa — Lining Marquette Street in Davenport, about 1,000 runners were ready to take their mark.
"It's great to come back with these runners, these participants," said race director Joe Moreno.
As the runners got set, they took off for the ninth annual 5K race hosted by Ganzo's in Davenport, after the race in 2020 went virtual.
"Usually we get almost 1,300 runners," Moreno said. "We capped it at 1,000, and that was on purpose."
