Grace Cottage Family Health & Hospital hosted its 17th annual Spring into Health 5K on Saturday, May 9.
Despite the weather, we welcomed 65 participants: runners, walkers, and strollers.
Many thanks to:
— our generous sponsors: M&T Bank, Linda Bastian, Big Picture Farm, Burrows Sports, Cota & Cota, Riverbend Farm Market, Smith Family Maple, WEEI 93.7 Sports Radio
— Rescue Inc. for helping to keep participants safe during the event
— the Townshend Church and the town of Townshend for the use of their facilities
— our volunteers for helping to put this event together.
Congratulations to Al Claussen, who was the fastest runner at 19:59, and to Julie Wolf, who was the fastest female runner at 24:36. Special recognition goes to Ken Walker, our “most experienced” participant, as well.
What a great event! Proceeds from this year’s 5K will go toward the Patient Care Fund at Grace Cottage, helping us to care for our community.
Finally, thanks to all who participated, for coming and for supporting Grace Cottage.
