Stop, Drop and Run for the Kids 5K...

• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
• 1 Mile Run:- Run 1 Mile

The Stop, Drop and Run for the Kids 5K is a fundraiser for the Goodlettsville Fire Department. This is the 4th year Simmons Bank has sponsored this event. All money raised is donated to the Goodlettsville Fire Department and used to purchase Christmas gifts for underprivledged kids in the community. Area schools and teachers notify the fire department of children in need. In December each child is given money to shop at the Goodlettsville K-Mart with a local fire department employee. They will have breakfast with Santa and also be able to ride in the fire truck after they are done shopping. This event gives children the opportunity to have a nice Christmas that their care givers are not able to provide.

We would like to thank our participating sponsors: Piccadilly Apartments, Goodlettsville Church of the Nazarene, Dennis Sinor Insurance, Alliance Marketing, B F Myers Furniture, Goodlettsville Police Department/Chief Gary Goodwin, Bill Dorris & Associates Real Estate & Property Management, Commissioner Zach Young and Wholesale Inc.

Thank you for participating.
