Betsy Farris Run Recap!
Thanks for joining us on the Saturday morning run! We had a great time with everyone this year at the event! The weather was beautiful and it was inspirational seeing runners challenge themselves from the 5k route to the half marathon route. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the power turned on at the park so we had to cancel the show from Buddha Blue. Thanks for rolling with it and keeping the post race party tradition alive! Big shout out to Ozark Mountain Biscuit and Fleet Feet for their support of the event this year!
Thank you to everyone who came out to run, volunteer and support this event! We have some awesome photos from Chris Kendrick & Notley Hawkins! - Click here for photos
