The Cannon County Child Advocacy Center is inviting children and youth under age 18 to run or walk for FREE at Cannon Runs for Children. Lace up your tennis shoes, bring your parents and grandparents, and be at Dillon Park this Saturday.
The 3rd Annual Cannon Runs for Children registration starts at 6:45 a.m., welcome and instructions at 7:15 a.m., and the race begins at 7:30 a.m. The entry fees are $20 for adults and $15 for senior citizens. The entry free price includes a t-shirt designed by local artist Chad Davis. Event t-shirts will also be available for $15.
According to Race Course Designer and Cross County Coach Brian Elrod, “You can run, jog, walk or crawl to support kids. As long as you’re out there doing it, you’re a runner. Anything you can do to help a child, you do it. It’s that simple.”
All contributions to Cannon Runs for Children will be used to provide services to Cannon County child abuse victims, child sexual abuse victims, drug endangered children and their non-offending parents and family members.
Runners and walkers are encouraged to pre-register online at cannoncac.org or through runsignup.com by searching Cannon Runs. You may also register by contacting the Child Advocacy Center at (615) 563-9915 and requesting a registration form be emailed to you.
