Event Description
Please join us for our seventh annual Elf 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run! This course will take place during the season of giving, Christmas! It is an off road course which will run through the beautiful Rutland farmland.This year’s event will raise money for a corporation that is very special to us and thecommunity, The Tiftarea House of Hope. Tiftarea House of Hope mission is to provide safe and nurturing environment for homeless women in need of temporary and transitional shelter who are willing to work towards ending their homelessness. The Tiftarea House of Hope is a non-profit corporation that we hope to raise money to support these women that want to make a change in their lives.
We want everyone to have fun while giving back so once again we will have a Christmas or Elf Themed costume contest! Dressing up is not a requirement to run but we believe that running is more fun when you look fun so we do encourage participation.
