Join the Excitement: Tommy Crockett Memorial Rescue Run

The Annual Tommy Crockett Memorial Rescue Run returns this year, hosted by the Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) in Nashville, Tennessee. Set for Thursday, November 26, this family-friendly event will take place at Two Rivers Ford, located at 76 Belinda Parkway in Mt. Juliet. The run is an essential fundraising effort aimed at supporting ARC's mission to protect and rescue animals in distress.

ARC, a national nonprofit organization, focuses on providing shelter, resources, and care for animals suffering in harsh conditions. They often partner with local law enforcement to conduct large-scale rescues, particularly in communities that lack the means to address animal welfare concerns. According to Tim Woodward, Executive Director of ARC, “The Rescue Run is always a highlight of our year because it brings together a community of people who genuinely care about changing animals' lives.” Notably, all proceeds from the event go toward emergency rescue operations, advocacy, and educational outreach to create awareness about animal welfare.

Event Schedule and Details

The activities kick off early in the morning with a one-mile Family Fun Run at 8 a.m. A following 5K Rescue Run starts at 8:30 a.m. Both the Family Fun Run and the 5K offer T-shirts to participants who register before November 12. The 5K course is USA Track and Field-certified, featuring awards for top finishers in various age categories for both men and women. There will also be a trophy and a special gift basket for the overall male and female winners.

This year's event continues the tradition of inclusivity, as families are encouraged to bring their well-socialized dogs, scooters, and strollers, making it a delightful outing for all. In appreciation, the first 100 dogs to participate will receive a special race bandana.

Tammy Jacobs, marketing director at Two Rivers Ford, emphasized the significance of this annual event: “Kicking off the Holiday Season with the Tommy Crockett Memorial Rescue Run is a long-standing Two Rivers Ford tradition. We absolutely love this event and look forward to seeing the runners, families, and, of course, the pets again this year!” In collaboration with sponsors like Sound Emporium and Hermitage Golf Course, the event aims to foster community spirit and dedication to the future of animal welfare.
