RUN MANCHESTER

A fun group of young, energetic and dedicated citizens is proud to announce its first community fund-raising event. The new group's goal is to sponsor local events and raise money to directly support activities, clubs and causes around Manchester.
 
In that spirit, the group is excited to announce the first annual "Run Manchester," which will debut on Saturday, Aug. 2, the morning of Manchester's sixth annual Riverfolk Festival. "Run Manchester" will feature 10k, 5k, and 1-mile fun-run events, and is open to everyone! Run, jog or walk--or even roll--your way to the finish line and be a part of a new tradition starting Aug. 2, 2008. Prizes will be awarded in each age category.
 
Everyone is welcome to run into history by joining this inaugural "Run Manchester" event. Are you an experienced runner, an avid walker, or do you simply enjoy fresh air? "Run Manchester" is just for you. The race will take participants through historic downtown Manchester, through the quaint village streets and highlight the community's beautiful schools and parks!
 
Be sure to save the date and invite family and friends to join you for a fun-filled day in Manchester, beginning with the morning "Run Manchester" and sharing in the renowned Riverfolk Festival, which will follow the race and run well into the evening. Make this a FUN day to be in Manchester!
