The 12th annual Run for the Bridges event hosted 84 runners Saturday morning despite freezing rain pouring down on much of Lincoln. Event organizer Rosina Paolini said there is no concept of bad weather to her, just bad clothing choices.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – On Saturday morning, Lincoln residents put on their running shoes and took to the trails this morning to raise money to protect bridges in Wilderness Park for the 10th annual Run for the Bridges fundraiser.
The yearly run was started as an effort to raise money to repair and protect bridges in the park.
“Bridges were being either broken, or in need of repair, or replacement, so we started this fundraising run and it turned into kind of an annual event,” organizer Rosina Paolini said.
