_ 2017 Byars Dowdy Roar Run 5K:
Healthy Children = Bright Futures
Byars Dowdy started the Roar Run event to help promote fitness and healthy lifestyles throughout our community. The school's awareness of childhood obesity and illness called them to action in 2008 after learning that a large portion of their students were considered above a healthy weight. One of the school's goals was to raise awareness of this problem and take steps to encourage more physical activity among its students and their families. Once this goal was set, it was decided that a run/walk would be a great event not only for the school, but for the community. Since the start of this event in 2009, the percentage of children in the overweight/obese category at the school has seen a steady decline. All proceeds go toward improving the overall education of the students at Byars Dowdy. This event is open to everyone!
