The race is presented by the Sapling Center and proceeds from the race will go towards improving access to the arts in Perry County. We open everything up at seven o'clock. The race begins at eight. If you're not a run walker, that's fine. We offer a party afterwards. We have some snacks and booze and music, things like that. You get a cold beer on a hot summer day. And then we also have our award ceremony that happens in that. If you just want to come and participate in that and still support but not have to run or walk, you can get in the door for $10 for that. And we have a really good time. It stays for a couple of hours and we have pizza and all kinds of good stuff to eat and just hang out and be a community together. Registration is $35 and opens at 7 p.m. with the race beginning at 8 p.m. at the Art Station in Downtown Hazard. Well, a lot of people have absolutely no idea the world that the arts play in community. And so, you know, we here are able to see the progress that the City of Hazard is made through the arts. And, you know, the Art Station, once we opened it and got things going, it kind of served as the ignition for this downtown revitalization that's really waving through our community right now.
