Monkey C, Monkey Do

Do you enjoy a good smile? What about the perfect run? Are you one of the select few that can do both at the same time?

If you qualify for any of these things, join Camp Smile-A-Mile for its fourth annual Monkey C Monkey 5K run and a 1-mile fun run on Sept. 7.

All proceeds from the event benefit Camp Smile-A-Mile’s year-round programs for children affected by cancer in Alabama.

The camp serves more than 400 children and young adults yearly and schedules this run each year to coincide with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The course trails through the streets of Homewood and finishes at Homewood Central Park.

The 5K begins at 8 a.m., and the 1 mile fun run begins at 9 a.m. Awards will be presented at 10 a.m.

The top three overall and top male and female in each age group is awarded prizes. Spirit awards will be presented based on judges discretion.

Festivities and family events will be held following the race in Homewood Central Park.

Parking will be available at Our Lady of Sorrows, Dawson Baptist Church, & Trinity United Methodist Church.
