Description
Join us on Wednesday 10/26 as our friends from Saucony will be here for a fun Breast Cancer run to benefit Miles of Hope. Miles of Hope is a local non-profit, 501 (c) (3) public charity with a mission of funding support services, education, and outreach for people affected by breast cancer within the 9 counties of the Hudson Valley (Columbia, Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, and Greene Counties).
The Run: We will have a suggested 5K ish route but the distance is completely flexible and open to all levels and paces including walkers. Saucony will be on-site with demo shoes (Endorphin Speed 3, Endorphin Pro 3, Tempus & Triumph) for participants to try during the walk or run if they wish, they are first-come-first-serve at 5:30 pm. It will likely be dark during the run or walk and safety lighting is very strongly recommended for all participants. We suggest a light to help you see where you are going (head, waist, wrist), as well as something that is highly reflective or flashes to help identify you as a runner to cars.
The Fun: There will be raffles for Fleet Feet gift cards after the run. Wear pink to the event and earn an extra raffle ticket! There will be plenty of snacks and hot cocoa after the run!
This is a free event but we are accepting donations for Miles of Hope if you wish to donate. 100% of donations will be passed along to Miles of Hope.
Fine print: If you are bringing someone to the event, please have them register here on RunSignup ahead of time. Everyone will be required to sign a waiver to participate and it's a lot easier for us to do this in Run Signup vs. paper. Since there can be a good amount of traffic in the shopping center in the evenings, we do not think that this event is suitable for strollers or small children. Please use your best judgment when registering.
