Jennie Stuart Health and Planters Bank will return as sponsors of the Second Annual Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K on Saturday, September 19.
The inaugural race drew 632 participants from 16 states, and ultimately led to a donation of $14,131 to the United Way of the Pennyrile.
Planters Bank CEO Elizabeth Griffin McCoy is quoted in a news release as saying, “The race not only inspires healthy living, but it promotes and supports our downtown. It is truly a community event, and we only expect more great things this year.”
Meanwhile, Jennie Stuart Health CEO Eric Lee says, “Last year’s run was such a great success and we look forward to this becoming a major regional race to spotlight Christian County and our neighboring communities.”
