Tuesday, December 03, 2013

Black Creek Mountain and the Chattanooga Track Club are hosting a 5K & Jingle Bell Fun Run and a Holiday Home Tour on Saturday, Dec. 14. Net proceeds will go to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank and Heart of the Valley Fund.

The 5K course takes runners through the Black Creek Mountain neighborhood and ends at the newly renovated clubhouse followed by a Fun Run and the 2nd Annual Holiday Home Tour.

The 2nd annual Black Creek Holiday Home Tour will be from 5-7 p.m. All proceeds will help bring Christmas to children in the Lookout Valley area through the Heart of the Valley Christmas Fund.  The tour will feature some of Black Creek’s homes decorated for the holidays.
