participants, from children to experienced runners. The Savannah Mile will
include five heats and feature a Fun Run Family Heat and five age groups,
guaranteeing many award winners. All proceeds go to The 200 Club, supporting
its founding mission to "care for those who care for us." The cost is $15
through May 24, and $25 May 25 and 26. Army Rangers and families are
complimentary. For more information on the race and registration visit, www.twohundredclub.org
