Saturday and Sunday, April 24 & 25th—
Our 9th running was a hit, despite cool temps and intermittent showers on Sunday.
Total registrations climbed to 1,462. Chuck Terry (15:58) of Albany and Emma Gryner (21:05) of Craryville won Sunday’s 5K.

Sean’s Run became a two-day event and the first run/walk in the region to offer a special component for kids with disabilities dubbed “Sea Jem’s Super Saturday Run for Kids with Special Needs.”
Meghan’s Mile and the 5K went off flawlessly and exactly on time.
The World Championship Battle of the Belts saw 15 high school teams and 9 middle school groups compete for bragging rights in the seatbelt buckling contest.
Our Prevention Education Expo had an increase in the numbers of visitors.
First Niagara Bank, our Presenting Sponsor, added 60 volunteers to our pool of 125.
19 grants were awarded to schools and youth groups to implement programs that combat underage drinking and teens’ lax use of seatbelts.
We also awarded 10 scholarships to outstanding college-bound seniors.
To-date we’ve awarded $135,550 thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and our supporters.
Many Thanks to all who participated.
