From the Organizer
The LaGrange Rotary Club is putting on a 5k (3.1 mile) run/walk to support our local efforts to boost literacy and selected non-profits in our community. Proceeds from the run/walk will go directly to support local causes working to improve literacy among our youth. The run/walk will take place on The Thread beginning at Granger Recreational Park and is an out and back course. This is an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier.
Online Registration will close at 6pm on Saturday, September 19th. Day of run registrations will begin at 7:30am on Race Morning!
