Last year’s event included over 750 participants from six states in addition to KY and raised over $50,000 to benefit Family Enrichment Center in its mission to empower families and prevent child abuse by providing education, social support, crisis intervention, and a safe environment for children and their families.

All event participants will receive a T-shirt, breakfast reception, “goody bag” and on-site sports massage.  Awards will be given in each age division for runners and walkers!    Families, business, organizations, and church groups are encouraged to participate as at team! 

The “Fun to Be Fit” Children’s One Mile Run sponsored by Vanderbilt Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine will start at 8:45am and cover a portion of the actual Mini-Marathon   course and finish inside Basil Griffin Park.  Children ages 5-12 may participate in the event.  It is our goal to encourage overall family health with this event.

Help the Family Enrichment Center “Imagine a World without Child Abuse” and get your exercise at the same time.  For more information on how to participate/register please visit our website at www.FamilyEnrichmentCenter.com or call the office at (270) 781-6714.  Racers may also register directly at www.Active.com.
