Battles for the Bridge 5K run/walk/virtual to be held June 5, 2021 at 8 am central standard time
Join the Hart County Historical Society and the Battles for the Bridge Preserve in their first annual 5K run/walk and virtual race. The race will start on the courthouse square and will wind through the sidewalks and streets of Munfordville, Kentucky that are hosts to several historic structures still standing from the nineteenth century. Due to the location and amenities with the bridge over the Green River, Munfordville became a prime site for Civil War Battles. Hart County citizens have taken pride in preserving their land and family structures, despite the harsh effects of war and time. You can chose to run, walk, or participate virtually, but we encourage you to come see the rich antiquity throughout the town. Weather permitting, there will be food and craft booths open on the courthouse lawn. The race will be held rain or shine. Preregistration will begin on May 5th and end on May 28th, with the in-person race taking place on Saturday, June 5th promptly at 8:00 am central standard time.
