NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A 1.78 mile run/walk was held Saturday morning at the North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex to honor Sgt. Gordon Best who died in the line of duty on January 1.
Clayton Hucks, 20, organized the run/walk after originally planning to just do the run by himself. Best’s badge number was 178, so Hucks planned the course to be 1.78 miles in his honor.
