First annual Bailey George Memorial 5K a huge success

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A field of close to 300 runners took part in the first annual Bailey George Memorial 5K Walk/Run on Saturday morning at Angel Mounds.

An exciting start to the day saw the children in attendance run a 400-meter race on the final part of the main course. It was a unique opportunity for the youth to complete a shorter race.

Following that portion, the 5K run took place. Making this a unique event, those who took part moved at their own pace with some running, others walking and some circling the course as a group, enjoying the chance to be on the same course that Bailey did less than a year ago.
