Vermont Race for the Cure returns

MANCHESTER- On Saturday, July 21, it’s Vermont Race For The Cure, where family and friends, co-workers, locals, and out of town visitors of all ages will come together at Riley Rink at Hunter Park for a common purpose: to support local breast health programs, ongoing breast cancer research and education, and to save lives. Many people form teams to participate in the 10K run, 5K run or 5K walk.
Teams participate to honor, or remember, someone’s fight with breast cancer. For some, their motivation is a loved one, friend, or co-worker. For others, it is just because they recognize the importance of the cause.
Team members make up over half of race participation, and are responsible for more than half of all fundraising. At no additional cost, uniting as a team in support of the cause is a great and easy way to get involved and make a big impact. This year teams will have their own section where they can meet up pre- and post-race.
Teams can be as small as four people or as large as 100.  The public is invited to encourage friends, family members or coworkers and help create more survivors.
