If you love to run… or just prefer to watch others do it, then join us, this Saturday, August 9th, at the third annual McKinney Historical Run. This event is a 5K for runners or walkers. The course takes you on relatively easy terrain through McKinney Historical District, beginning at the Old Library. Click here to view the map!
Come and bring your family to join the McKinney community, enjoying free snacks and music after the race. The first 200 people to enter the race get a t-shirt. It’s not too late to register! On-site registration is $20. Check-in is at 221 N. Tennessee, McKinney, TX. The gun goes off at 7:30am, so they recommend that you arrive prior to 7:00am. For more event information visit the event website at McKinneyHistoricalRun.com.
There are twelve divisions ranging from 9 and under to 70+. Each division will have awards given to the winners of each division, as well as awards to the overall male and female winners. This is a great event to bring the whole family to in McKinney.
Part of the proceeds of the race will go to Michael Helms, a teacher and coach at McKinney High School. He is experiencing medical complications that leave him unable to work and support his family. If you are unable to attend the event, the website provides information on how to make donations for the Helms’ family.
Who knew that you could have fun and help others in your McKinney community at the same time?
