 The 16th annual Run With Courage 5K hosted by Judy's Place for Kids is returning to downtown Pikeville Saturday, April 13th. Participants can run or walk the 5K or participate in a one-mile walk. This is our main event that we do during Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. It's our best way during this month to just help people get involved with just spreading awareness and helping build prevention in our community. You know, this is one of the one of the most high-profile events that we do of the year, and so it draws in a lot of eyes. It gets a lot of people talking about the event in the month, and so overall it's just a great opportunity for us to raise awareness for this issue in our community. Registration will be open from 7 30 a.m. until 8 45 a.m. Saturday, April 13th with the race beginning at 9 a.m. For us, you know, this is an event that historically has always drawn from anywhere from 150 to almost 400 people depending on the year and obviously the weather and all sorts of different factors, but overall it's just it's just one of the the best opportunities that we have for people to have the chance to not only just attend an event but also feel like they're part of bringing a solution to the community, and that's you know that's our mission statement is we are to be a bright solution for abused children, and so allowing others the opportunity to kind of aid in that mission I think is why it becomes such a fun and such an exciting opportunity for the community to be involved in. Online registration will remain open until Thursday, April 11th. For more information or to register go to runsignup.com with courage reporting for mountaintop news I'm Brianna Robinson
