INEZ — Walk, run, roll or stroll through downtown Inez in the Martin County 2-Mile Summer Dash.

The Martin County Extension Office is partnering with Linda’s Gymsters and the Martin County Public Library to host the free 2-mile dash at 7 p.m. Aug. 5.

The CDC’s HOP (High Obesity Population) grant is funding the event to increase physical activity in the community, particularly walking.

Registration is free, and each participant will receive a free T-shirt. The T-shirts will be ordered after the race.

The first 150 participants will also receive a drink tumbler and lanyard. 

You can participate with a family member or friend, try to beat your best time, or walk at a leisurely pace for some relaxing exercise.

Every finisher will receive a ribbon, certificate and free swag bag. 

Awards include first, second and third place for adults 18-plus, teens 13-17, and youth 12 and under. 

The oldest, youngest and fastest family in town will also get awards.

For more information or to register, call Martika at 606-298-7742.
