Hillbilly 5K proceeds to go to help buy Ozark County students’ school supplies

Runners and walkers are invited to participate in Ozark County’s oldest 5K, set for 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 22. The race is a pet-friendly event, according to organizers. 

Participants can register between 8 and 9 a.m. next to Gainesville City Hall, or they can pre-register, using the form below, at Doug Hawkins’ Shelter Insurance office in Gainesville, which is sponsoring the event.

Pre-registration is $20. Registration the day of the event is $25. All participants receive a commemorative T-shirt. 

This year, all proceeds from the race go to the Ozark County Health Department’s program that provides free school supplies for Ozark County students who need them.
