The 2025 Summer Splash 5K is set for Saturday, June 21, at 6 p.m., starting near the Exceptional Bean parking area on North Walnut Avenue. This high-energy, family-friendly race is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.
Hosted by the Cookeville Regional Medical Center Foundation, the event raises funds for the Upper Cumberland Cancer Patient Assistance Fund, which provides financial support to residents facing a cancer diagnosis. Participants are encouraged to race in honor or memory of loved ones impacted by cancer and to register as teams, families or community groups.
Held annually in memory of Sarah Alice Bagci, a beloved Putnam County educator who died of lymphoma in 2010, the Summer Splash 5K celebrates community, compassion and movement. It is also part of the Run the Cumberlands Race Series, making it a favorite among both casual and competitive runners.
True to its name, the course features cooling misting zones and optional drench stations, adding an extra splash of fun to a meaningful evening.
