This weekend in Albany, GA

Celebrating its 37th year, the Run For Love 5K and one mile fun run is a longstanding community tradition presented by the Tift County Cross Country Teams. Runners, families, and supporters come together for a day that highlights healthy living, connection, and Blue Devil spirit at ABAC’s Red Hill Athletic Complex in Tifton. Race day features check-in, a timed 5K, a one mile fun run, and an awards ceremony. In the 5K, awards are given to the overall male and female winners as well as the masters winner, along with the top three males and females in five year age groups. The one mile fun run recognizes overall male and female winners, and all other participants receive a participation medal. Proceeds benefit the Tift County Cross Country team by helping provide team dinners, custom shirts, race prizes, gear, letterman jackets, and special gifts for seniors and eighth grade athletes. Every step helps fuel the program and creates lasting memories for the student-athletes.

This one-day, semiannual sidewalk sale delivers the largest clearance event, with every item displayed outside priced at $25 or less. Merchandise spans all seasons as space is cleared for new arrivals. All sales are final. Payment options include cash, Venmo, and Cash App with no fee, or a card with a 3 percent processing fee. Inventory is limited, so once an item is gone it will not return.

A warm good-morning message invites the community to visit Tift Park Community Market and start the day at the market.
