The event organizer said the chatter from all whom participated and travelled from outside the area enjoyed the event; it’s scenery and the support of the community. The Chatsworth-Eton-Murray County Chamber of Commerce was extremely helpful with it’s support, including providing several volunteers on race morning and providing the necessary connections to make sure the event was locally promoted. Also, the Murray County Commissioners office support was crucial for allowing the race to occur on county roads and the use of county sheriffs. Lastly Chatsworth Police Department Chief Josh Etheridge’s dedication and time spent meeting with race officials was instrumental for the event’s success and lack of incidents. The event organizers are consider hosting a 2nd annual (May 2016) and hope to grow on the success of this years event and increasing the support from the local area will be crucial in it’s growth. Charity The event also benefited a local charity, Helping Hand Food Pantry and raised $605 on their behalf through a portion of the registration fees, payment for volunteer support and by participant donations.
