Race with friends and family and try to “Beat the Leprechaun!” This a new challenge for the 7th annual Special Kids Race, which takes place Saturday, March 17. The race brings more than 3,000 walkers and runners together for one very special reason — the children at Special Kids. There are three different distances — 15K, 5K and a one-mile fun run. It all starts at 7 a.m. at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic (1272 Garrison Drive, Murfreesboro). The new “Beat the Leprechaun” challenge encourages every runner/walker to pass the leprechaun. For everyone that does, Hooper Fence Company will donate $1 per racer. Cost to join the race is $45 for the 15K, $40 for the 5K and $20 for the one-mile fun run.
