On Saturday morning under the cover of clouds, more than 40 runners ventured to Rock Creek Park to outrun the Revenuers. And while there were no Revenuers on scene, the charity run did collect quite a sum of revenue for local children. At 8 a.m. Aug. 24, community members of all walks of life came out to the annual Revenuers Run 5K event at the park to support the Kiwanis Club of Dawson County’s mission to help children in the community. “Our goals as a club are to support the needs of children in our community so anything from this race goes back to serve that,” said club member Melissa Mayton. “We’re a small club but we feel like we’re pretty mighty.”
