From the Organizer
Proceeds from this fundraising event benefit the DEO Clinic which for 20 years has provided free healthcare to uninsured adults from Whitfield and Murray Counties when they lack the resources to access healthcare. DEO Clinic is a 501c3 non-profit.
The 5k timed race follows the paved trail around Haig Mill Lake. It is one lap, 3.1 miles long, and mostly flat. The trail is a mix of paved trail and gravel. It is a beautiful course and works well for all paces and abilities.
The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk takes place on paved areas and is not a timed event.
