The Betsy Farris Memorial Run

Saturday, September 28, 2019

We invite you to participate in our 5K, 10K or half-marathon, in celebration of music and healthy living.

Our race honors the legacy of Betsy Farris, Roots n Blues Festival director from 2009-2016. Betsy trained, inspired, and mentored many people on their journeys to get fit and stay healthy. Our race is produced by our friends at Off Track Events.
