Milton Mayor’s Run Presents: Jog For A Cause

ALPHARETTA-MILTON, GA - From Jog For A Cause 5K: A long-standing community tradition will once again make its way to Milton March 2, at Freedom Park. The City of Milton, in partnership with North Point Pediatrics, will host the 16th annual Jog for a Cause as part of the 10th Milton Mayor's Run, a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Jog for a Cause helps raise money to support childhood cancer research and assist families dealing with diagnosis and treatment.

"It is inspiring to see the entire community coming together year-after-year to help find a cure for childhood cancer," said Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood.

Applications for the 2019 Milton Mayor's Run presents Jog for a Cause are now available. The race begins at 7:30 a.m., with registration and packet pick-up beginning at 6:30 a.m.

Runners can register online by clicking HERE. Same day registration will be available starting at 6:45 a.m. on the day of the event (cash only).

"Our goal this year is to raise $10,000," said Dr. Greg Cabrera of North Point Pediatrics. Cabrera is a Milton resident and founding member of Milton's Jog for a Cause.

The race will begin and end at Milton's Freedom Park, located at the corner of Deerfield Parkway and Webb Road. The event includes a 5K race and tot trot.

Cost for participation is $30. That fee includes a quality, soft-blend tech T-shirt with the race logo and plenty of food and fluids after the race - and a great running experience!

The 5K race will circle Deerfield Parkway, located off Windward Parkway in Milton. Those unfamiliar with this race and road section, Deerfield Parkway offers runners a flat and fast route. Awards will go to the 5K Male and Female Open and Masters winners, and to the top-three finishers in the various age groups.

"The Mayor's Run is great way to support local families dealing with childhood cancer, while improving your own health," said Milton's Community Outreach Manager Courtney Spriggs. "Our long-standing partnership with Jog for A Cause is something everyone Milton should be very proud of."
