2002 Jackson Drug-Free 5K Run

Jackson City Park was the site of the 2002 4th of July weekend 5K run.  Interesting course in that the runners have to "jump" over the waterway during both the out and back on the course.  If I remember correctly, there was a significant amount of water in the drainage ditch that year.
