Think...think...think...
If you ever find yourself tapping the side of your head trying to remember, we've got a fun event for you.
The inaugural Memory Jog 5K is going to be a throw back to the 60'& 70's (remember those...LOL).
It's doubly symbolic because the event proceeds are going to Operation GroundHUG & The Wander Project.
We'll be starting & finishing at the Kids R' Kids in Johns Creek, and we've got Super Soft shirts for the racers, as well as award medals for the Overalls, Masters, Grand Masters, Senior Masters, and all the regular 5 year age groups.
