Runners and walkers will gather at Clarendon College this Saturday to raise awareness about child abuse during the fourth annual Chance Mark Jones Roar ‘N Run 5K.
About 100 people have registered for the event, which is hosted by the Clarendon Lions Club and coincides with Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Sign-ins start at 8 a.m. at the Bairfield Activity Center. The 9 a.m. race will start and end at the Bulldog Gym and run through the city; in front of the First Baptist Church; down Fifth Street along Clarendon Junior High; past several historic structures, including the S.W. Lowe House, the First United Methodist Church, and the Donley County Courthouse; around Prospect Park – the site of the Chance Mark Jones Memorial Playground; and then back up through the southwest part of the city to the college.
Race packets will be available for pick-up all day this Friday, April 8, at the Clarendon Visitor Center.
Proceeds from the race will benefit the charitable community activities of the Clarendon Lions Club. The race honors the life of four-year-old Chance Mark Jones, who died from abuse in 2011.
