The Old Fort Park was the site of the Mayor's NEW YEAR'S DAY 5k here in Murfreesboro.
Not only was it a new location, but the central location and milder weather seemed to attract several hundred runners. The 11:00 o'clock morning start time may have also helped to encourage a good turnout.
Mayor Shane McFarland is encouraging residents to become more physically fit. In fact, the New Year's Day 5K is just one of the programs he has created.
