39th Annual Rose Run steps off June 13
With events for all ages, individuals and teams, the 39th Annual Rose Run will be held Saturday, June 13 at the Jackson campus of Jackson Community College.
Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, P.C. will be the title sponsor, and the Rose Walk will again be sponsored by Jackson Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.
Rose Run features both a 5K run and 5K walk on the roads around the JCC campus, as well as both a “hybrid” 5-mile run and 5-mile relay that combines road running with trails used by the JCC cross country team. The three-member team relay race covers the same course as the 5-mile hybrid race, with each runner completing approximately 1.7 miles. There will be seven relay divisions: males under 55, females under 55, mixed under 55; males over 55, females over 55, and mixed over 55; and mileage club family. Participants in the relay carry a baton which must be passed from runner to runner at the exchange points.
This year’s race will be a fundraiser for the JCC cross country team. Trophies will be award to overall and master winners, custom medals to the top three in each age group, and T-shirt to all participants.
