41st Annual * Tillman CLOCKTOWER 5K
This year we celebrate the 41st Running of Rome's oldest race! What began as a fundraiser by the Rome Jaycees to repair Rome's iconic City Clock has grown into one of Georgia's premier running events. This year will mark the 21st year that funds raised from this fun and challenging race will benefit the effort of the Exchange Club Family Resource Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. One of the oldest races in Georgia history, the race course winds through historic downtown Rome and climbs historic Clocktower Hill in the second mile before finishing with a view of the Coosa River in Heritage Park. Both the 5K and the 2-mile Health Walk courses are quite scenic, as they take in much of the "Between the Rivers" district of beautiful downtown Rome.
A special thanks to Gail Johnson—retired, Hall of Fame race director! Thank you for all you do, Gail!
The Legend himself….Gary Tillman. This one’s for you, Gary!!
