Register to walk or run with us on September 12th on our course in rural Simpson County. We are again offering a separate category for walkers! To be a walker, one foot must be on the ground at all times. No running if you are entered as a walker.
While we love seeing all our runners and walkers in person, we do offer a virtual option. We will also feature team registrations for groups of 10 or more at a discounted price.
Prizes will be awarded for the Top Male and Female Overall as well as for the Top 3 males and females in each age group in both the runner and walker divisions. ALL live and virtual participants registering by August 10th will receive BOTH a shirt and a medal.
If you are interested in becoming a race sponsor, we offer several tiers of sponsorship. Get in touch with The Rosie Foundation at rosiefoundationky@gmail.com or message January, Erin, Kerry, or Shannon, and we will get you set up. Race sponsorship is part of what makes this race so successful for The Rosie Foundation We appreciate it so much!
Your registration fee and sponsorship directly helps The Rosie Foundation and our goal of providing support to warriors facing Glioblastoma with beautiful care packages and financial gifts. We want to thank those of you who race with us year after year and welcome the newcomers! Our successful races allow us to continue to support cancer warriors and their families We can’t do it without you and can never thank you enough for all the support! Without a doubt, we are making Tiffany proud. Let’s keep it up!
