The city of Milton is proud to bring the 12th annual Jog for a Cause to the community as part of the 6th annual Milton Mayor’s Run.

Applications and sponsorship packets for the 2015 Milton Mayor’s Run presents Jog for a Cause, set for 7:30 a.m. Feb. 28 at Freedom Park, are now available on the city’s website.

“I am thrilled to partner and host Jog for a Cause again this year,” said Mayor Joe Lockwood. “I can’t wait to see everyone out there with us on Deerfield Parkway, staying fit, having fun and raising money for some great causes.”

“As a founding member of the Milton Mayor’s Run and a Milton resident, I am thrilled we could partner again with the city to host Jog for a Cause,” said Dr. Greg Cabrera of North Point Pediatrics. “We have raised over $250,000 in ten years to fight childhood cancer and can’t wait to get to work and raise more money in 2015.”

The partnership with Jog for a Cause is a wonderful opportunity for north Fulton residents to not only be active with Mayor Lockwood, but benefit our community and those that live here.

The race will follow the same route as in years past, and like last year, begin and end at Milton’s Freedom Park located at the corner of Deerfield Parkway and Webb Road, said Courtney Spriggs, Milton’s public outreach coordinator. It includes a 5K race and tot trot. The race also serves as a Peachtree qualifier.

Cost for participation is $25 if received before Feb. 14 and $30 after. That fee includes a quality, moisture-wicking T-shirt with the race logo and plenty of food and fluids after the race.

Sponsorship levels to benefit the Milton Parks and Recreation Department and its efforts to provide citizens with access to green spaces, parks, trails, facilities, recreation programs and activities include packages from $250 to $5,000 for title sponsors.

Deadline for sponsorship is Feb. 7 to ensure inclusion in all advertising.The 5K race will circle Deerfield Parkway, meaning it will be flat and fast. Awards will go to the 5K Male and Female Open and Masters and to the top 3 finishers in the various age groups.
