Domino's Run for Govs 5K
High on a windy hill, overlooking the confluence of the Red and Cumberland rivers, stands Emerald Hill, home of Austin Peay State University National Alumni Association and the start and finish for the Run for Govs 5K and Valerie Hunter-Kelly Run/Walk For the Govs. Listed in the National Register of Historic Sites, this mansion has a history that is as rich as the traditions of the University. As runners come to conquer Emerald Hill, they will embark on a journey of accomplishment as they endure the winding course to the top. Truly, the name given by Gustavus A. Henry was appropriate. It was and still is an Emerald Hill.
Whether you run or walk, your participation will benefit student scholarships and funds that are an Austin Peay experience, paying it forward for our Govs.
Conquer Emerald Hill!

Valerie Hunter-Kelly Run/Walk For the Govs 1K
The Valerie Hunter-Kelly Run/Walk For the Govs 1K is in honor of Run For Govs 5K Committee member, Valerie Hunter-Kelly.
After completing her first half-marathon in 2012, she became an avid runner, with a mission to run a marathon or half-marathon in all fifty states and Washington, D.C. In January 2020, she accomplished that goal when she completed a half marathon in Maui, Hawaii, along with many friends and family who traveled with her to celebrate the milestone.
She was lovingly surrounded by her immediate family when she crossed her final finish line on Saturday, November 7, 2020, in Nashville, Tennessee. Valerie had a legacy of determination, service, professionalism, humor, and a contagious zest for life. She loved travel, good food, meeting new people, problem-solving, and a challenge. She was a treasured daughter, friend, and mentor, a leader, a wife and a mother.
The proceeds from Valerie's 1K will benefit the Valerie Hunter-Kelly (HHP) Scholarship. As she was passionate about helping others, this scholarship assists students in professional development endeavors.
