CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Deputy Bubba Johnson Memorial Road Race is returning for its ninth year on the morning of Aug. 19, at Beachaven Vineyards and Winery, 1100 Dunlop Lane.
The race will begin at 8 a.m., so participants should arrive between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. There is a $25 entry fee, which includes race entry and Finishers Medals 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 along with them.
Big Mike’s Little Donuts, Founding Frothers Coffee, and Bondi Bowls food trucks will also be on-site.
T-shirts for this year’s race will be available for purchase on the event registration website for $25. Be sure to add the t-shirt (in the size you wish to purchase) to your cart when purchasing race tickets as t-shirts may not be available for purchase at the event.
Online registration cut-off is midnight on Aug. 16 and there is no race day registration this year.
The 5K race 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.
