Scott Burgess Memorial 5k Scott Burgess Memorial 5k
June 1, 2024
Franklin, TX, 77856, US
The Scott Burgess Memorial 5k was established in 2013 to honor our own hero, SSG Scott Burgess. Scott was killed in Afghanistan in 2011 while serving in the Army's 1st Battalion, 84th Field Artillery Regiment, 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. All of the proceeds go to a scholarship program benefiting the youth of Robertson County where Scott was raised. The race is June 1st to begin with a memorial speech at 6:45am and playing of Taps and our National Anthem. The race starts at 7:00am and a kids 1 mile race will immediately follow at approximately 8:00am. The results and awards will be given out right after the kids run. Packet pick up will be the Friday night before from 5-9p and also pre race beginning at 6:00am. The race starts and finishes in City Park - Franklin, Tx. and a full day of family fun with a festival and games and live music will give the family plenty of things to do so plan to stay for all of the festivities!
The Scott Burgess Memorial 5k, held annually on June 1st in Franklin, TX, is a cherished community event honoring Scott Burgess. While specific details on its founding history aren't provided, memorial races like this often stem from a desire to celebrate a loved one's memory and bring people together for a positive cause, potentially supporting a charity or local initiative. Participants can anticipate a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere focused on community spirit and remembrance. The 5k course is expected to be a typical road race, likely featuring a mix of paved surfaces. Given its Texas location, runners should prepare for potentially warm and humid conditions on race day, especially in early June, so hydration and appropriate gear are advised. While not explicitly detailed, memorial 5ks frequently offer unique touches such as commemorative t-shirts, post-race refreshments, and opportunities for participants to share memories, making it more than just a race, but a meaningful gathering.
