Sean’s Run Weekend Concludes January 2021 It is with gratitude that we, the Board of Directors and the Organizing Committee, announce the conclusion of Sean’s Run Weekend and all our associated activities as of January 2021. Our labor of love has run its course. Beginning in 2002, for 18 consecutive years, neighbors, friends and families from far and wide came to Chatham, New York, every spring to run, walk, bike, and more, in an extraordinary community event with a special purpose. Whether under azure blue skies or in pouring rain, they participated to honor the memory of one very special young man. Sean was surely there, too, smiling down, proud of all of the ways Sean’s Run Weekend was touching lives of so many, and accomplishing such good. We are grateful for all who have made the event possible: our supportive community, the wonderful and gracious volunteers, the generous sponsors, the faithful donors, all the runners, walkers, bicyclists, Zumba fans and, of course, our families. We have decided to cross our finish line now, when we are at the top of our game, rather than modify our plans for an extraordinary Grand Finale 20th Annual event in May 2021 to comply with COVID-19 mass gathering restrictions. The pandemic forced the cancelation of Sean’s Run Weekend in 2020 and we do not anticipate that conditions will change to a level allowing the production of a 20th and final event of the scale and scope we prefer come spring 2021. We want Sean’s Run to be remembered as it was prior to the pandemic. For nearly two decades Sean’s Run was a wonderful mass gathering of families, friends, young and old, students, neighbors as well as those who traveled in from afar – all standing shoulder-to-shoulder to remember Sean and to raise awareness about the dangers of underage drinking and impaired driving. Beginning as an untimed 5K group run with 418 runners, Sean’s Run grew into a not-for-profit corporation that implemented and funded year-round projects and produced a weekend-long community event comprised of multiple activities. At the 15th annual event, 1,820 runners, walkers, bicyclists and Zumba fans signed up to participate. After 18 years, Sean’s Run Weekend leaves a $500,000 legacy of programs funded, scholarships granted, and a scholarship fund endowed. Thousands of young people across the region have and will continue to benefit from Sean’s Run Weekend. We understand that events come and go. But the goodness that was derived from Sean’s Run Weekend, the friendships formed, and memories of fun enjoyed, remain always.
