Helping to top off the weekends events was the 5K "Nut" Run. This
challenging 3.1-mile course starts outside of Spencer on Charleston
Road, where runners sprint through the first mile of curvy flat roads
only to be met with the challenge of "the hill", Lick Fork Hill that
is. This hill will make or "lick" the runners times as they head for
the finishing stretch. But after conquering the hill, runners again
enjoy the flat road leading them down Black Walnut Avenue to the
finish line in front of the Court House.

Crossing the finish line with a time of 20:45 for a Female overall victory was Stephanie Eastman of Spencer. Stephanie is a Roane County High School Senior where she is a member of the track team. Great job Stephanie!
Sponsoring the 5K "Nut Run" is Spencer's own, WVRC Radio and Bob Zadianic. After the awards are passed out and the festival starts to wind down, he was headed to the Funnel cake booth for one last festival treat. If you happen to miss the fun this year, be sure to check out the 47th Annual Black Walnut Festival 5K "Nut" Run next October.
