Scott Burgess Memorial 5K
The Scott Burgess Memorial 5K is an annual running event held in Franklin, Texas. Established in 2013, the event commemorates a local soldier from the Army's 1st Battalion, 84th Field Artillery Regiment. The race takes place in City Park, serving as both the starting and finishing point for the participants.
Available distances include:
- 5K run
- 1 Mile kids run
- 5K virtual race
The event serves as a fundraiser for a scholarship program that supports youth in Robertson County. On the day of the race, the schedule includes a memorial speech, the playing of Taps, and the National Anthem prior to the start of the athletic activities. Results and awards are presented following the conclusion of the kids run.
Beyond the races, the venue hosts a day of family activities, including festival games and live music. Participants can collect their packets at City Park the evening before the race or on the morning of the event. Registration includes an event shirt, though availability is guaranteed only for those who register before the mid-May deadline. Late registrants may receive shirts on a first-come, first-served basis at packet pick up while supplies last. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
