Little Rock running store destroyed by tornado gets $57,000 donation 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A Little Rock running store destroyed by March's EF-3 tornado is getting back on its feet thanks to a $57,000 donation.

Rock City Running took a direct hit from the storm, with the business declared a loss.

But just hours after the destruction, the Central Arkansas running community got to work. Led by local nonprofit Little Rock Roadrunners, they raised the funds in just a matter of days.

"Within 24 hours of putting it up," Brent Corbit with Roadrunners said of the fundraiser, "we had nearly $10,000 in donations and it kept building and building."

Rock City Running owner Bill Torrey says all that kindness will be paid back in full.

"It's a contribution from the community, but it's also for the running community in that we're going to reopen," Torrey said.
