Many Florentines remember the story of a tragic accident almost two years ago that claimed the life of Taylor Elmore. Taylor was days away from starting his senior year at West Florence High School. Like his mom, dad, and big brother, Taylor was an avid runner. The following are details from his mom about the annual race in memory of Taylor:
I hope all of you are doing well. Greg and I just got back from Pennsylvania yesterday. We ran in our 9th state for Taylor.
Taylor’s race is on the 21st of May this year. It will be his 19th birthday. This year we are having a 5k/10k and a fun run for children 10 and under with the pirates. We’ll also have food, Mills Brown tshirts, tops for Taylor, face painting, music, and door prizes.
People can register at www.active.com. All of the money raised will be put into Taylor’s non-profit organization to help support The Florence County Track and Cross Country Club, A scholarship for The College of Charleston, and sneakers for runners in need.
Both races will start at 8 am with the Fun Run after. Once again, this event will be held at West Florence High School.
Let me know if you need any more information and thank you for helping to spread the word about the race.
