The event will coincide with the Celebrate Clinton Association's Fourth of July celebration on the downtown square. Lauren Hutton, with Big Brothers Big Sisters indicates the registration gets underway bright and early at 6:45 am and pre-registration is open now.

 

 

The 4th of July 5K will take the place of the Barstool Classic, which Hutton indicates was starting to decline in attendance. She notes the 5K is also a way to get the youth in their organization involved.

 

 

Being a non-profit, Hutton explains fundraisers keep their doors open along with providing them money for the expenses the public may not sometimes realize cost money.

 

 

Habitat for Humanity had hosted the 5K on the square in the past and after they bowed out, Big Brothers Big Sisters stepped in to take it over.

 

Hutton also reminds participants, as a part of the Celebrate Clinton Association Fourth of July celebration, there will be a free breakfast available when the 5K is over.
