LOCAL NEWS | Hospice of the Highland Rim will host their annual Hospice 5K Turkey Trot and One Mile Fun Run (or Walk) at Tims Fords State Parks on Saturday, October 12. All proceeds will directly benefit hospice patients in Moore, Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Lincoln, and Warren counties.

The course will follow the lake view, paved path at Tims Ford that is easy to navigate.
