2nd Annual TY Five 5K Run/Walk
8:00 am. Join us at East Rogersville Baptist Church for a meaningful morning of community, remembrance, and support. This event is held in loving memory of Tyson Emmitt Gibson, who was stillborn into the arms of Jesus at 39 weeks. Though his time here was brief, his life continues to inspire love, faith, and purpose. Whether you run, walk, or simply support from the sidelines, your presence helps us come together to honor Tyson and stand beside families facing pregnancy and infant loss—reminding them they are never alone. Parking is available in front of East Rogersville Baptist Church, across the street at Hawkins Elementary, and down the road at Rogersville Middle School. This family-friendly event is not just about running—it’s about community, remembrance, and creating a positive impact. Every stride supports a meaningful cause close to our hearts.
