On Saturday, August 5th, Pike County Health Director Tammy Riley will be celebrating her birthday as part of a community event. Walkers and runners alike are invited to the Bob Amos Trail as part of Tammy's birthday fun run. Participants will line up at 8 a.m. to go through the trail and spend the morning getting in some exercise. This is the seventh year that we've my husband and I've hosted the birthday fun run on my birthday and we've done it as I thank you and just to give back to the running community which I'm very active in the running community but also to promote health and wellness throughout Pike County and encourage people to get out and they don't necessarily need to run but just get out and get moving, walk, run, participate in outdoor activities. Riley wishes to make the free event accessible and include anyone willing to participate. Once the run is over, homemade awards and sweet treats will be given out. If you want to participate and you feel like you're not ready to run a 5k that's okay. One of the primary reasons we do not time this event so it's not an officially timed event so people will feel comfortable. You can walk the entire three miles or you can run the entire course and you can do the Bob Amos trail and go out to the one and a half mile mark and turn around and come back or you can just walk laps on the Bob Amos track and it's open to the public. This event is free and my husband and I work on what we call a homemade or custom medals that we give to all the finishers and usually we have a little treat afterwards as well.
