MURFREESBORO — Some four-legged walkers will put their best paws forward for a worthy cause at MTSU.

The eighth annual See Spot Run 5K Run/Walk is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 18, at MTSU’s Peck Hall.

Canines and their human friends will walk or run to benefit Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity and the MTSU Habitat Blitz Build.

So far, MTSU students have built three homes with the money they’ve raised. They want to raise $40,000 to build a fourth.

Early registration is available until May 12 for $25. After May 12, the registration fee is $30. On-site registration on the day of the race will start at 7:30 p.m.

Participants may register at www.active.com. Each preregistered participant will receive a shirt. Awards will be presented to the top finishers in various age groups.

This event is sponsored by the MTSU Office of Leadership & Service and Sigma Pi fraternity.
