Run & Walk for Sierra Set for April 11 in Trion

The community is coming together in Trion to support a local inspiration with a special 5K Run & Walk for Sierra on April 11.

Sierra Bennett, a 23-year-old with cerebral palsy, has found joy and purpose in chair racing, inspiring others with her determination and positive spirit. The daughter of Carrie and Josh Bennett, Sierra continues to compete and stay active in the racing community.

The event will take place at Trion Town Hall, located at 1220 Pine Street. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with the race starting at 9:00 a.m.

There is no required registration fee, but donations of any amount are encouraged and will go directly toward helping Sierra cover race fees so she can continue doing what she loves.

Organizers say the event is not only about supporting Sierra, but also about bringing the community together for a meaningful cause.

Those who cannot attend but still wish to help are encouraged to donate.
