Dozens of runners came out to Barry University on Saturday, April 9, to take part in the 5K/8K Nun Run through Miami Shores.

Participants were encouraged to wear nun’s habits, although most just wore the headpiece.

The annual tradition honors Barry’s founders, the Adrian Dominican Sisters.

Runners came from all over the country. The big winner was Tom Lefner, who is in town from Pennsylvania for a beer brewing event.

Check out these photos from the event:
