Esther Comes and Takes her 1st 5K

At 95 years old, Esther Bell decided it was time to check something new off her list—her very first 5K. Taking part in the Sage Capital Bank–sponsored Come and Take It run, she joined participants young and old with her signature determination and smile. 

Esther started strong, made her way through part of the course, and—true to Gonzales spirit—hitched a quick ride back to just before the finish so she could proudly walk across the line on her own two feet. Her accomplishment drew cheers and applause from the crowd, serving as a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to set a goal, join the fun, and finish with pride.
