Hundreds of local enthusiasts started the new year off on the right foot at Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation’s New Year’s Day 5k. This family-friendly event was a Better Boro Project sanctioned event that was electronically timed, and gave every fi nisher a commemorative medal. Awards for overall winners were given, as well as age group winners in the male and female categories.

Whether it’s taking a thrilling ride down a water slide at Boro Beach, exploring historic Cannonsburgh Village, playing a competitive game of tennis at Old Fort Park, hiking along the beautiful Stones River Greenway or taking advantage of hundreds of other options with Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department, there is a quality experience available to every resident of Murfreesboro.
