Following the success of the 2020 Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K, all of the proceeds raised from the race were donated Tuesday to the Hopkinsville Challenge House program.
Parks and Recreation Superintendent Tab Brockman along with a handful of Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K committee members presented a check for $14,050 to Challenge House Board Chair Penny Chewning and Executive Director Michelle Wilson on Tuesday.
The money raised from the marathon and 5K were obtained through sponsorships and entry fees as well as direct donations from the second annual dual road race in 2020.
All funds were donated to benefit Challenge House this year. Following the 2019 Hoptown Half Marathon and 5K, which raised right at $14,000, all of that yearâs proceeds were donated to United Way of Christian County.
