Week In Review March 24 - 30
The race formerly known as the Cleveland Professionals Firefighters 5K has now been taken over by the Cleveland Shrine Club. After the CPFFA Local 3748 opted against having the road race this year the Cleveland Shrine Club was contacted and they were more than willing to take over the event. All proceeds raised by this road race will go to the Shrine activities (Shrine hospital and transportation fund).
In October 2008, the Tennessee running community said good-bye to an amazing and talented runner. Markie Voyles was a senior at White Co. High School and would have graduated this May with her fellow classmates. She passed away on October 25th from injuries sustained in a car accident. In Markie’s memory her father Mark and several others have organized the “Markie Voyles Project Graduation 5K”. This event will be held at White County High School on May 2, 2009. We would like to encourage everyone to come out and support this cause. Those interested in participating in the High School Mile are encouraged to come out and help with various duties at the 5K. Let’s work together to make this event a huge success!!
