Shocco to hold 2nd Dashing Through the Springs race to support missions

Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center in Talladega is gearing up for the second running of Dashing Through the Springs 5K race Dec. 11.

The 3.09-mile course weaves its way through wooded hillsides, offering a formidable challenge to seasoned runners and novices alike.

There also will be a 1-mile fun run/walk for the less adventurous and children who want to be part of the morning’s activities, making Dashing Through the Springs an event for the entire family.

Register online at www.shocco.org. Vendor space and sponsorships are available for the run, and applications also may be found online.

All proceeds raised from the event go to support Shocco Springs missions work, which has taken staff as far away as Guatemala twice this year and to points close to home, like the Gulf Coast and east Alabama.
