Clarksville Half Marathon !!! 2009

Here we are more than 168 out and already 8 people have signed up for this event. The community has really pulled together for the coordination of this event. We believe the event will be awesome for all those that are getting in shape, that are pushing the limits on their already established training, that are checking the life block or that just want to get out and enjoy the weekend. The two day event will include an awesome Expo with many vendors at the Riverview Inn, Host hotel. I am really looking forward to this. In addition to last years race, there will be music on the course and many other great things additions and all of this brought to Clarksville, TN.
Keep watching the website, www.clarksvillehalfmarathon.com and sign up on Twitter.com for any other cool ideas that need to be shared right away!! The beneficiaries are the Clarksville YMCA, to support many of its awesome programs and a facility that offers so much to the community and the Wings of Liberty museum that is being built on Fort Campbell, KY to continue the legacy of our fighting men and women.
