NEWPORT BEACH
The 13th annual Harbor Heritage Run earned more than $32,000 for the Newport Harbor High School PTA, and for the most part ran smoothly, organizers said.
The PTA will use the funds to sponsor the high school’s counseling assistant, a parent newsletter, academic boosters and programs, event chairwoman Sandra Weiner said.
“We received tremendous support from the community,” she said of the 11 sponsors, including premier sponsor Coldwell Banker.
Seven hundred and sixty-five runners participated in the 2K and 5K runs through the Newport Heights neighborhood known for its gently rolling hills, ocean views and cool breezes.
In total, about 1,500 people attended the event, which included field hockey, water polo tournaments and a free health and fitness fair.
