Description

Live the "Green" Way is a run/walk 5K to honor and remember Jennifer Green. Jennifer was an amazing Christian, mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Anyone who ever met her loved her. She was never without a smile on her face. She also loved children and they loved her. Besides her faith and her family, she had two other passions...running and children with special needs. This event will raise money to help support local special education programs. 

In five years, we have donated over $30,000 to Robertson County Special Education Classrooms. This year will be our 6th 5K. Please keep checking our Facebook page and website for updates. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at our 6th Annual Live the “Green” Way LIQUID COLOR 5K!!

 

"Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step."

~1 Corinthians 9:24-26
