Description

The date is set for the 16th annual Colton's Main Street Run.  The Run is held in memory of Colton Sherrill, son of Trace and Dena Sherrill.  The 10-year old athlete and Durant Main Street volunteer passed away 17 years ago while playing basketball from an unknown heart defect.

The proceeds will be used to provide education in Cardio Pulmonary resuscitation and use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's), to provide emergency equipment, including but not limited to AEDs, for use by schools and communities, to fund higher education scholarships, and community projects. To date the proceeds have benefited our community as follows:
