The race will start at 8 a.m. at the intersection of Vine and North Sycamore streets in Campbellsburg. The race will continue north to Hop Cemetery, there will be a water station turnaround point and head back towards Campbellsburg.

Bring your family and friends out to run or walk in memory or in honor of someone fighting cancer. Part of the money raised will go into the care fund to help local families in their time of need.

This year’s race will be in honor of Hewitt Kellams, who has been in Riley Children’s hospital since July 2. He was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and tetrasomy 9p. His parents have been back and forth between home in Orange County and the hospital. Some of the money raised this year will go to Alyssa and Zach to help offset the costs of his stay.

Ribbons will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group at the conclusion of the race. Top male and female finishers will receive a gift card.

Here is the link for the 5k preregistration.
