Rome Emperors News Release
Rome, GA - The Rome Braves & RACE Rome announce the 3RD Annual No Excuses 5K/10K/Health Walk for Saturday April 18th at 8am. The race begins at the Braves Miracle Field of Rome complex and ends with runners crossing home plate at State Mutual Stadium, home of the Rome Braves. The race is in memory of local fitness and health trainer Scott Hines and will benefit the Braves Miracle Field of Rome. Participants can register online at active.com or by visiting romebraves.com or the State Mutual Stadium box office.
The athletes at the Braves Miracle Field of Rome live Scott's motto of "No Excuses" each week as they suit up to play America's pastime. Since the inaugural game at the Braves Miracle Field of Rome in April 2012, over 350 players have suited up to play baseball at this specialized park. Programming through a partnership with the Rome-Floyd County Parks & Recreation Authority allows for children and adults with mental & physical challenges to enjoy the game of baseball. Since its opening, a spring and fall league has been introduced as well as a school league which allows students from local special education classes to take part in the game of baseball on a safe and secure field. The commitment extends to insure that no athlete is turned away due to financial constraints.
The No Excuses 5K/10K/Health Walk are part of the RACE Rome Super Set Challenge. The Super Set Challenge is for athletes who participate in three or more RACE Rome events. Race combinations range from the Tri for the Y, No Excuses 5K/10K/Health Walk, Tri for the Kids, Tri for the Shelter, Roman Rumble 5K/Health Walk, RACE Rome Sprint & Youth Tri, and the Davey Sprocket Cycling Event. RACE Rome is a recognized 501c-3 that donated over $36,000 to local charities in 2014.
