It was a beautiful day in Knoxville for a hike Sept. 29, as Knox County Schools and Partners in Education held the second Hike for Schools event. This three-mile round trip hike took place on Third Creek Greenway, beginning at West High School. Participants checked in and picked up their Hike for Schools T-shirts. Fifty percent of all registration fees and 10 percent from food vendor profits at the hike go back to help support Knox County Schools.
