TIFTON —
The 16th annual Sweetheart Run is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 9 at Rehabilitation Services of Tifton/Tifton Fitness & Wellness Center. The event will consist of a 5K Sweetheart Run at 9 a.m., as well as a One Mile Clot Trot at 9:45 a.m.
“We are so glad to be able to donate our proceeds from the Sweetheart Run and Clot Trot to Hemophilia of Georgia again this year,” said race volunteer Cindy Spurlin. “My family has directly benefited from the assistance that their organization provides for families affected by Hemophilia.”
Hemophilia of Georgia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing services and support for Georgians who have hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. HoG exists so that people in Georgia affected by bleeding disorders live as normally and productively as possible.
Trophies will be awarded to the overall male and female winners of the 5K and the one mile, the male and female masters of the 5K and the top three finishers in each age group for ages 19 and under for both events. Travel insulated mugs will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group for ages 20 and over for both events.
All pre-registered runners will be guaranteed a long-sleeve event T-shirt.
