Re:441"Annual 7-Mile Bridge Run
Dear County Commissioners,
The Marathon Runners Club respectfully requests to be added to the agenda for the next scheduled
meeting. We are requesting approval for the running of the 441"Annual 7-Mile Bridge Run for Saturday,
April 5, 2025 from 6:00 A.M.to 9:00 A.M. We are very proud to say that our local youth have benefitted
from proceeds from the 7-Mile Bridge Run since it began in 1982. We appreciate the overwhelming
response we receive from our annual event and thankful to participants, sponsors, volunteers and the
continued support of our community.
We will be acquiring all the necessary permits, insurances and certificates which will be provided to you
upon request at the completion of receipt.
We are anxious to hear from you following the outcome of your next meeting so we can proceed with
planning next year's running event. Please acknowledge the approval of the 441"Annual 7-Mile Bridge
Run by the County Commission by email to gsayer@mykcs.com. Please send me the confirmation and
the link of the approval/minutes which would make it easier to printout so we can present it to the DOT
and other entities that require it.
Thank you, Commissioners, in advance, for your time, consideration and continued support for this fine
local event to benefit our local youth.
Sincerely,
C7&nV,e4-ScLye,4-,, Event Director
