Presented By McDonald’s, I’m Lovin’ It!
After the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic altered their date and start/finish line, The Buck 50 is back in full-swing with a different launching point.
The 2021 race will go into downtown Chillicothe for their start/finish for the fundraiser race to be held April 16th-17th.
100% of the race proceeds benefit the 2,000 students who participate in the M.A.D.E. Program that is affiliated with the 60 school Chapters with Drug Free Clubs of America. The Buck 50 serves the eight local chapters, which are called M.A.D.E. by the students, for My Attitude Deter-mines Everything!
Dave Huggins, Co-Organizer for the Buck 50, says it is an “inspiration” to be part of something that can help young people make choices to stay clear of the addicting power of drugs and other chemical substance abuse.
Huggins says the annual race has also served to inspire many people to continue running for their own health and the course offers various challenges to each degree of runner that participates in the event.
Huggins adds that Ross County is a great place to live and and says this event helps “shine light on the good natured people of Ross County”, who are always ready to step up to help the youth of the community.
