Fair Haven 5th Annual Run for Hospice of the Finger Lakes will be held on July 3, 2010, at 9:00 AM.
The race will begin at the Cayuga Street Park Pavilion and the new course will take runners along Little Sodus Bay.
The race has grown approximately 30% each year. Last year’s race was a tremendous success, with 196 participants, dozens of volunteers and a check to Hospice of over $2,600. We are hoping to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the race with an even bigger donation to Hospice.
Race registration forms will be available on-line and throughout Fair Haven beginning in May. Any business/organization which would like to sponsor the race and be recognized both on the race tee shirt and the day of the event, may do so through the race registration form by June 15, or by contacting jonitaub@aol.com.
Can you help? With a bigger number of participants, more volunteers are needed, also. Help is needed in the following areas, and each requires just a few hours of your time:
- During the month of June – solicit door prizes
- Afternoon of July 1 – sort and label race tee shirts for distribution
- July 3 (day of race) – traffic control, tee shirt distribution, registration, water tables, cheering on the runners.
Interested volunteers can contact Mr. O’Hern at (315) 947-6800.
See you at the start line!
