Lace up your sneakers for local schools

Runners, walkers, joggers: get ready to lace up your sneakers for two great events coming up at local elementary schools.
Saturday, March 2, 2013 - The sixth annual Tiger Trot benefits the PTAs of both Henry Clay and John Gandy Elementary schools and starts on the Henry Clay grounds, 310 S. James St. in Ashland, then winds through the historic town. There's a 1/2 mile and full mile fun run for kids (ages 12 and under) and a 5k (on flat ground, I'm told) for everyone. The 1/2 mile starts at 8:00 a.m., the miler at 8:15 a.m. and the 5k at 9:00 a.m. Cost is $20.00 for adults (Hanover County employees get that discount/pay incentive!), $10.00 for kids. Professionally chip timed.

(You can do it!!) Cost is $20.00 for adults, $15.00 for kids. Professionally chip timed.
