Scott was killed in Afghanistan in 2011 while serving in the Army's 1st Battalion, 84th Field Artillery Regiment, 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. All of the proceeds go to a scholarship program benefiting the youth of Robertson County where Scott was raised. The race is on June 1st, to begin with a memorial speech at 6:45 am and the playing of Taps and our National Anthem. The race starts at 7:00 am and a kids 1 mile race will immediately follow at approximately 8:00 am. The results and awards will be given out right after the kids run.
