It's unfortunate that this is
It's unfortunate that this is being held March 2 as there are two other 5ks that day, one to benefit East Knox County schools (8 a.m.) and the other to benefit - I think - the UT library (9 a.m.). Obviously, all three are for a good cause, so it's too bad there couldn't have been communication between the groups to at least set them at different times of the day or perhaps move one to March 3.
