Autumn March for ALS

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The "March" was the brainchild of Jerry Edmundson, former director of the Dyersburg/Dyer County Union Mission. Edmundson created the race in 1991 to promote the Mission's youth programs, and the race has been held on Dyersburg's Square the third Saturday of October every year since. In 2016, when the Mission relinquished sponsorship of the event, Sarah Alley and a committee of supporters renewed the race as the Autumn March for ALS Awareness.

🎯 Purpose of the Event

• Proceeds go towards: Tennessee ALS Chapter, local Senior Scholarships, and supporting Matthew 25:40, Inc.
