If you live near the Rippavilla Plantation in Tennessee, then you’ll want to know about the third annual Rippin Run on Saturday, August 4th. This charity event will benefit both the American Cancer Society and the Rippavilla Plantation. The 5k obstacle course started at 8 in the morning and the one mile Fun Run will be at 9. As Corrine Tomlinson, the President of Rippavilla Inc. explains
“The first year, we had over 100, last year we doubled that so we hope to grow this every year. It does benefit the American Cancer Society and Rippavilla for us here. It’s so much fun. We have them from age three up to 70 years old. The first year, a very elderly lady was saying, ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this.’ She started off like she was going to fuss about it. She was going through the mud pit. I said, ‘Have you had this much fun in a long time?’ She just started laughing. She was having a blast.”
