About the Event

The Maury County Fair and the Knights of Columbus have been supporting Special needs youth and young adults for over 16 years with My Day at the Fair.  The 2025 My Day Event hosted over 1,200 special needs youth and young adults along with their caregivers.  

Join us for the 2nd Annual My Day 5K and 1 Mile Trot, which expands the mission of My Day and honors William “Will” Spiess who never met a stranger and believed everyone deserved a friend.  

Local Maury County non-profit organizations who will benefit from Funds raised at this event include: Kings Daughters School, Maury County Special Olympics, and Best Buddies of Tennessee.

We care deeply about every member of our Maury County Community and hope you will support us in this new venture. We can't wait to see you there!
