Former Litchfield High cross-country and track and field standout Spencer Sass won the annual Jingle Bell Run on Saturday in 16:30. Sass finished five seconds ahead of James McKirdy in the 3.1-mile race that was sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department.

A field of 178 runners turned out for the race, which started on Whites Woods Road and finished at Litchfield Intermediate School. Parks and recreation Director Brent Hawkins served as the race director.

The first female finisher was Jackie Nicholas of Bethlehem, in 18:49. Many runners ran in the colors of the Christmas season, including the Parker brothers, Ian, Andy and Leland. Wearing their Santa hats, the Parkers took up their traditional places at the rear of the field.

The Parkers can be seen in the photos above. Among other runners shown are Sass, left, and McKirdy jockeying for the lead, Litchfield's Bob Davenport and the Litchfield Track Club's Rob Breakell.
