For the second year in a row, the Bridge of Flowers 8K Classic has been canceled.
In an email, BOF Race Director Dan Smith said that the decision to cancel the August event was two-fold. Hosting the race, which was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remains difficult because of the uncertainty surrounding the virus. It also involves additional challenges with a lack of support staff, according to Smith.

Set in 1974 Mississippi, “the three sisters have gone their separate ways,” said Director Trudy Bruner in her first solo production for OCT. “They’re back home at a time of crisis” – Babe’s alleged attack on her husband.
Oddly, “it’s a comedy, but it’s also very poignant and sweet,” Bruner added. “It has a lot to say about family, that we’re really better off together.”
Though Babe, played by Lily Capote in her stage debut, is initially flippant about the charge against her, her oldest sister, Lenny, played by Kiersten Farley, suspects there’s more than her sister is letting on.
