The Core of Scottsville and Med Center Health to host Anniversary 5K Dash

SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. – Normally held the third Saturday in September, the annual Anniversary 5K Dash in Allen County has been moved up to September 13th.

Registration starts at 7:30 that morning and includes a 5K and a one-mile fun run/walk through the Allen County Schools campuses.

This year, The Core celebrates 25 years, and executive director Ernie Stafford says his favorite part is seeing families come together.

“There’s a lot of families that do this together, and for the last nine years that I’ve been part of this, that’s one thing that I love. I love seeing the community come together, I love to see the family… the challenges that each group does. We actually have a core group here, it’s called… we call it the Couch to 5K, it gets people off the couch to get them out exercising,” he says.

While we were in Scottsville, we got an early look at the new gym being put in behind The Core’s current location.

Stafford says they’re running ahead of schedule, and are looking at opening this holiday.
