Boston Marathon bombing survivor lacing up for another run

SEATTLE – Bill Iffrig, the subject of an iconic photo of the Boston Marathon bombing that made the cover of Sports Illustrated, is once again lacing up his running shoes.

The Lake Stevens man plans to run in the 28th annual Run of the Mill 5K at the Mill Creek Town Center July 6. He is also the 2013 Honorary Starter.

Every year, proceeds from the run are donated to charities. This year the money will go to help those impacted by the bombings at the Boston Marathon, local cancer charities and local high school athletic programs.

The Run of the Mill 5K is the longest standing race in Mill Creek.
