Madison Fiddlin’ 5K JAM<\/p><\/div>\n

The Madison County Rotary Club presents the 8th annual Fiddlin\u2019 5k on Saturday, April 30. The event is a fundraiser for youth-based art programs in Madison County such as Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM). The funds also go to provide art supplies to Madison County elementary schools and new band equipment and material for Madison Middle School. \u201cMany students, teachers and program directors have relied on these funds to help keep their art programs going,\u201d says race director Bill Dow<\/p>\n

ney. \u201cIn Rotary, we work hard to help our local and international community. The Fiddlin’ 5k is one of our programs that we can directly see the benefit from here locally in Madison County.\u201d<\/p>\n

The race starts at 9 a.m. and the route winds through Mars Hill, starting and finishing at the Otis Duck Greenway, with a number of performances by local musicians along the way. \u201cThe Fiddlin’ 5k may be the only 5k that has such a high concentration of musical acts on the course,\u201d says Downey. \u201cWe literally have a musician on the course performing every half mile. Runners and walkers love the musical aspect of the 5k and the energy the musicians bring is contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n

The local event started on a shoestring budget, with the Rotary Club barely breaking even on overhead expenses. Now, the Fiddlin\u2019 5k has a significant impact on local programs and garners excitement from the whole community. \u201cRight now is a tough time to be a student and providing funding for art programs has been a way for our students to have a semblance of normality and continue to grow as people,\u201d says Downey.<\/p>\n
