Following consultation with local healthcare providers, members of the Special Kids board, staff, and event organizers have reached the decision to postpone the 10th Annual Special Kids Race to Saturday, October 30, 2021.
"Our ultimate priority is promoting a safe experience for all of our participants by following the guidelines set forth by the CDC and state health officials," said Charlie Apigian, Special Kids Race Director. "We've determined that the safest decision is to postpone the event given the current rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in Rutherford County."
All current registrants that have already paid and signed up for either the March 6 or April 10 dates will have the option to move their registration to the October 30 date or receive a refund.
"We want to thank all of our sponsors, committee members, participants, volunteers and community supporters who make this event a success each year. You have walked beside us and helped us grow exponentially in our ability to serve children in the past nine years of this race. We believe this postponement will still give us the best opportunity to 'dream big' for the kids this year," said Apigian.
