'Running for Liberty 5k aids revitalization push TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE It was a different kind of flight at Smith Reynolds Airport Saturday, as run ners took off down the tarmac for the Run for Liberty 5k. It was the second year the Liberty Community Development Corporation held the 5k to raises money for and awareness of its efforts to revitalize the Liberty Street Corridor "one brick at a time." The CDC also annually hosts an outdoor physical challenge between local cops and firefighters and a youth aviation camp at Smith Reynolds. Shaw says all the activities are designed to attract positive attention for Liberty Street, which, in its heyday, was the city's main thoroughfare. About 60 people tackled the 5k course, which left the runway and looped around sections of Liberty and Fairchild Road before returning to Smith Reynolds. Ranging in age from 12 to 66, participants ranged from experienced runners to novice walkers, some of whom took their pets along for the journey. See Liberty on A2 5MW i ?? ??
