Second Annual Fun Run01:24PM / Tuesday, September 08, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Williamstown Community Chest is pleased to announce its Second Annual Fun Run on Saturday, September 26, 2009.This community event consists of two races:a 5K Run and a 1-mile Kids’ Run/Family Walk.
The Fun Run races are open to everyone: veteran runners and first time runners, along with daily or occasional walkers. Families with strollers and pets are also welcome to join the fun. Both events begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Williams College Cole Field House/Poker Flats, off Park Street in Williamstown.
This is the same popular route used in last year’s race and previous community races.
This year’s event is dedicated to the life and memory of Mr. Don Westall, a long-time Community Chest campaign volunteer, board member and supporter, and Williamstown community leader. Mr. Westall’s life exemplified “creating community,” the theme adopted by the Community Chest for its Fun Run and annual campaign.
Registration will be at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the race. Pre-registration is available at WilliamstownCommunityChest.org. The cost for the 5K race is $15.00 per runner and for the 1-mile Run/Walk, $15.00 per individual or walking family.
“We have already received numerous inquiries regarding another run this year. As a result of last year’s success and access to this popular route, the committee felt an ‘encore’ event was definitely in order. Although this is not a fundraising event, we feel it truly raises awareness of the Williamstown Community Chest” says board member and Vice President, Denise Kober.
For over 82 years the Williamstown Community Chest has provided funding to local agencies and organizations that serve Northern Berkshire County. They accomplish this through the generosity of business community contributions and private individual donations.
