Tour de Seven run/walk planned at Ferne Clyffe

The Southern Seven Health Department plans to host the third annual Tour de Seven 5K run/walk on Saturday, Oct. 28.

This year, the run/walk is scheduld to take place in Johnson County at Ferne Clyffe State Park, which is located one mile south of Goreville on Route 37.

First, second and third place medallions will be awarded for the following categories: 20 years and younger, 21-35 years, 36-50 years, 51-65 years and 66 and older.

There will also be medallions for overall male runner, overall female runner, overall male walker and overall female walker.
