Memorial Run Draws International Attention

A memorial race to honor a pregnant runner slain last month in south-central Kentucky is gaining international support from a Facebook campaign. The four-mile run and walk for Sarah Brooke Hart is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. EDT Aug. 11 in Russell Springs. It’s called “Run With All Your Hart,” and organizers say those who can’t make it to the race are signing up as “virtual runners.” All fifty states and six countries are represented. Thirty-one-year-old Hart, of Jamestown, was found dead in a field near where she had been running June 14. An autopsy confirmed she was ten to eleven weeks pregnant with her fourth child and had been strangled. Twenty-eight-year-old Christopher Allman of Jamestown has pleaded not guilty to murder, fetal homicide, kidnapping and robbery in her death.
