The Blue River Cross Country Course in Shelbyville will once again benefit from the Tree Trot 5K Run/Walk.

Scheduled for April 29 at Blue River Memorial Park, 725 Lee Boulevard, all proceeds from the event will go to purchasing big trees to plant along the cross country course.

The 5K run/walk will begin at 8:15 a.m. on April 29 with awards to follow.

Pre-registration is $30 and includes a T-shirt. Pre-registration ends at midnight on April 24.

Race-day registration is $45 and shirts are not guaranteed.

Racing categories include 12-and-under, 13-18, 19-39, 40-59, 60-80 and 80-and-over.

Age group (male and female) winners will receive a potted tree sapling. The top three finishers overall will receive a homemade medal.

For those choosing to walk the “Tree Trot,” a member of the local environment advocate group, Master Gardeners, will lead an informative overview of the Little Blue River watershed at Blue River Memorial Park.
