Description

The Race for Breast Cancer Awareness - in Memory of Christy Bowlin 5K run/walk will be held on October 7th, 2023, on Carson-Newman's campus. The race is in memory of Christy Yonz Bowlin, the Carson-Newman University cheer and dance coach from 2007-2021, who passed away from a courageous battle against breast cancer. Her athletes became part of her family - she prayed for them, encouraged them, mentored them, and cared for them more than anyone would ever know. All benefits will be contributed toward an endowed scholarship in memory of Christy. 

The Race for Breast Cancer Awareness - in Memory of Christy Bowlin 5K route will give you a glimpse of our beautiful campus and town. As we start our race at the Randall and Kay O'Brien Amphitheater, you will navigate through Jefferson City by following along Mossy Creek.
