Gainesville, MO. – Even nearly a month later, local residents are still pitching in to help their neighbors who were affected by the March tornadoes. April 12th, a run will take place for the purpose of benefitting those in Bakersfield who lost their homes.
Racers are encouraged to sign up before April 3rd for a shirt to wear the day of the race, and the cost of entry is $20 for those aged 13 and up, and $15 for those aged 12 and under.
The race itself will happen at 8am, starting on the square of Gainesville.
