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!
