CLARKSVILLE, TN − The Deputy Bubba Johnson 5K + Cornhole Tournament is returning this year on the evening of Aug. 9 at Rossview High School (1237 Rossview Road). This year’s community event will feature a 5K race, 1 Mile Fun Run, Cornhole Tournament, food trucks, and more.

The Cornhole Tournament will begin at 4:00PM, so participants should arrive around 3:30PM. There is a $40 entry fee per team. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams.

New this year includes the first annual Battle of the Badges tournament featuring teams of first responders from Montgomery County and beyond, as well as First Responder Exclusive 5K race medals for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishing First Responders.

The 1 Mile Fun Run will begin at 7:30PM, while the 5K will begin at approximately 8:00PM. However, participants should arrive prior to 6:15PM to ensure road closures have not begun. The 1 Mile Fun Run entry fee is $10 and does not include a race shirt or Finishers Medal. The 5K entry fee is $40 and includes both the race shirt (if registered before MIDNIGHT on July 15th) and Finishers Medal for the first 250 entrants to finish.

While there is no official category this year for our four-legged friends, all well-behaved dogs are welcome to bring along their registered human runners and run alongside them.

Bondi Bowls, Mis Tres Gallos, and Smash ‘N Beef Co food trucks will be on-site.

T-shirts for this year’s race will be available for purchase on the event registration website for $20 (plus sizes extra).

Online Registration cut-off is midnight on August 6th and there is no Race Day Registration this year.

The 5K race and cornhole tournament is held annually in memory of Deputy Bubba Johnson, who lost his life in a motor vehicle accident on Jan. 12, 2014 while on duty with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Bubba had also served with the Montgomery County Emergency Medical Service and Clarksville Police Department. Proceeds from the event directly benefit the spouses and families of Tennessee Law Enforcement Officers who are killed or seriously injured in the Line of Duty.
