Superhero Distracted Driving 5K Walk/Run & Community Fair

Save to Favorites

The Mid-South Distracted Driving 5K originated in 2013 by the Collegiate Life Investment Foundation. It was developed to bring awareness in the Mid-South community of the dangers of Distracted Driving and to raise money for medical expenses of victims of fatal car crashes and allocate funds to implement teen traffic safety in local high schools. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit individuals directly affected by Distracted Driving crashes and traffic safety education in Tennessee.
