Southeast Alabama Community Foundation’s (SACF) Inaugural Half-Marathon is Saturday, February 18 in Dothan. The event will raise funds for SACF’s 2012 Community Trust grants given in funds for grants given to organizations that provide services to Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties. Last year, SACF awarded more than $32,000 in grants.

Registration is $75 and a map of the race course with a link to register is w.sacfhalfmarathon.org. Runners may pick-up their packets Friday, February 17 at the Dothan Civic Center (126 North Saint Andrews Street) from 12 - 6 p.m. The race starts at 8 a.m. at Flowers Hospital, 4370 West Main Street, our lead sponsor. The event will feature food from T.G.I. Friday’s and MoonPies®!

“We’re so excited to start this new fundraiser in the Wiregrass. It is the same weekend as the kick-off of mardi gras, so we plan to wear beads and have a great time,” said Burton U. Ward.

Sponsorships are still available and volunteers are welcome. The SACF Half-Marathon is managed by Montgomery Multisport and our lead sponsor is Flowers Hospital. For more information www.sacfhalfmarathon.org or call 334-446-0247. SACF is an affiliate of the Central Alabama Community Foundation.
