Murfreesboro, TN – Supporters of Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity will take to the streets THIS Saturday (September 18th) for the 13th Annual Hammer Down for Habitat Poker Run. This year’s event now includes a 26-mile Marathon Relay Run, in addition to the 95-mile poker run for motorcycles and cars. The theme is Ride, Drive, Run for Habitat for Humanity.
Proceeds from Hammer Down will go towards building affordable housing for area residents at Habitat’s Legacy Pointe subdivision in Murfreesboro.
This is an exciting event where 100+ motorcycles and cars start at the Habitat ReStore at 850 Mercury Blvd, in Murfreesboro at 8:30 am, and “run” a scenic 95-mile route through Middle Tennessee, ending back in Murfreesboro for lunch and entertainment at Hop Springs Beer Park on John Bragg Highway. Runners will start at 7:00 am and complete their Marathon Relay in time for lunch and event activities.
The ride will start at Habitat for Humanity in Murfreesboro at 850 Mercury Boulevard. Registration will begin at 8AM sharp and participants in the drive will head out around 8:30AM. 12 Noon will be the time that most of the drivers and riders arrive at the Hop Springs Beer Park (6670 John Bragg Highway, Murfreesboro).
