Increased participation highlights second annual Truckin’ for Tucker 5K

Tucker Lee’s legacy was celebrated this Saturday at the second annual Truckin’ for Tucker 5K at the Lyon County Fairgrounds.

The event saw an impressive increase in participation from last year with more than double the number of runners from 2021. Tucker’s mother thanked the community for their overwhelming support of her son and his memory.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Tucker Lee Everybody Plays fund which helps families and children overcome financial barriers to participate in sports. Jodee Lee says helping others was a big part of Tucker’s personality.
