Hundreds of runners from across the region participated in the United Way of Westchester and Putnam's third-annual Run United, a 5K run benefiting county-wide health initiatives.

Participants met at Purchase College Saturday morning where three different events were open: a 5K, a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk; and a Toddler Dash for the youngest participants.

Funds raised help support the United Way's two county health initiatives--Step Up To Health and Voices for Positive Choices--which aim to reduce childhood obesity, help provide healthy food for low-income families, and help steer children away from destructive behavior, according chapter president and CEO Naomi Adler.
