If you are local runner, there are two opportunities to run in a 5k event on Oct. 24. Susan Bailey is conducting the Big Bigby Bolt 5k near her home at Cross Bridges. This event is to attempt to raise money for a scholarship in the name of Josh Bailey who died tragically a few years ago. The location is about 3 miles north of Mt. Pleasant on Cross Bridges Road at the intersection of Hwy 412 and Cross Bridges Road. The 5k starts at 8:00, and there is a 1-mile race for elementary kids at 7:30. Cost is $25 unless you can find a brochure to pre-register for $20. There is a website and a telephone number of 931-698-5889 is given.
The other 5k will be conducted from the square of Mt. Pleasant. This coincides with the Scarecrow Festival and the Scarecrow Century (bicycle tour). The Mt. Pleasant High School Boosters are attempting to raise money to pay for a field house under construction. This event will start at 9:00. The cost is $25 unless you can find a brochure to pre-register for $20.
If you are ambitious, you may be able to run in both due to the start times!
Both races promise a t-shirt but neither mention scoring, awards or a certified course length.
