WHEW… that was a challenge! 😅
Adding a 5K to an already huge community event is no small task, but after countless meetings, route discussions, and coordination efforts, we FINALLY have our approved race route! 🎉
A huge thank you to the SunDrop Festival Committee, UT Southern’s Justin Watson, EMS, the Pulaski Police Department, and everyone else who played a role in making this happen. Together, they worked tirelessly to create a route that is not only fun and scenic, but prioritizes the safety of every participant and citizen in our community.
It was truly inspiring to watch so many organizations come together with one goal: creating an amazing event while keeping our community first.
