Annual
Woodstock FreedomRun Set for July
The
9th Annual Bank of Woodstock, Woodstock Freedom Run will be held on Tuesday,
July 4th at 7:30 a.m. Runners of various ages and abilities will take
their marks at the intersection of Main Street and Towne Lake Parkway/Arnold
Mill Road. Participants can run or walk the 5K flat, fast and shaded course
that goes up and down Main Street. The race is sanctioned through the
Georgia Run and See, Grand Prix series allowing a prize purse, which attracts
elite runners.
Tony
Crawford, pastor at Dayspring Church, started this race nine years ago
when he read that 20,000 potential participants were turned away from
the Peachtree Road Race. He wanted to offer an alternative. The alternative
is a family-friendly race, which includes something for everyone 1 elite
runners to children. The race kicks off a day of fun and family festivities
in downtown Woodstock for the 4th of July celebration.
Proceeds
from the race will benefit the HOPE Center, a crisis pregnancy center.
All registered participants will receive a high quality race T-shirt.
Registration forms are available from the Bank of Woodstock, located at
8770 Main Street and also on page 43 of this issue.
