Many runners braved chilly temperatures and blustery winds to compete in the annual 5K for KJ race Saturday.

The race was established in honor of Martha's Vineyard Regional High School student and cross country runner, Kevin H. Johnson, who lost his life in 2004 at the age of 16 in an automobile accident.

Proceeds from the race go to the Kevin H. Johnson Cross Country Scholarship Fund, which awards multiple scholarships annually to members of the regional high school cross country team.
