From the organizer
Bring your friends and family! Join us for a fundraising 5K supporting Charles D. Owen High School Cross Country as well as the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth, and Families. The event will kick off with a multi-terrain 5K surrounded by mountain views around the Owen High School campus, beginning and ending in the Owen High School Stadium. Following the 5K will be a 1K Pony Trot Kids Run (ages 10 & under) on the track. T-Shirts will be given to the first 100 registrants (size guaranteed to those who sign up before 5/1)! Additionally, awards will be given to top performers! So come gallop, trot, or just walk and talk - we hope to see you there! Registration ends 5/29 at 11:59pm for both the 5K and Pony Trot!
