Event Description
Please join us for our fifth 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 our first Tom Conner Scholarship Award which will raise college scholarship funds for a local student at Tift County High School. This scholarship is in loving memory of Tom Conner. Many people who knew Tom knew about the courageous ongoing battle he had with stage 4 liver cancer. Tom was a fighter with a big heart. It is our hope that, with support from our amazing community and partners like you, we can raise money to support a local student that will show the love that Tom showed to everyone that he encountered.
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.
The event will take place on Saturday, December 14th, 2019 at THE MARKET AT RUTLAND FARMS in Tifton, GA. The 5-K will kick off at 9:00 a.m. and the 1 mile fun run will begin shortly thereafter, at 10:00 a.m. Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in each age division.
