Activities were canceled this summer, businesses closed and people were encouraged to avoid each other to prevent spreading the COVID-19 virus. But staying away doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors. Officials said the trail systems in and around Beatrice were as busy as ever as people looked for ways to stay active and entertained. Julie Feist, director of the Homestead Running Club and a member of the Homestead Conservation & Trails Association, said many new faces could be seen enjoying the trails throughout the summer. Feist directed the marathon and 5K, and said both were well attended.
