“We are thrilled with the strong turnout and the energy this event brings to the community each year,” said Denise Gross, TMCS Community Relations Coordinator. “The Run for the Mums not only celebrates health and fitness but also gives back to our local youth by supporting TMCS recreation programs.”
All proceeds from the race benefit youth recreation programs offered through Tipp Monroe Community Services. Held annually since 1978, the race coincides with the Tipp City Mum Festival and continues to draw participants from across the region.
