Runners, walkers, joggers, and spectators: save the date for Warren’s annual 5k road race, “Finish for a Guiness”, next weekend! A bit of Water Street will be blocked off starting at 9:30am, so leave the car at home and wander on downtown to cheer on your family and friends.
Finish for a Guinness can be found on Facebook, and they say: “This charitable event is being held to raise awareness and funds for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. In the winter of 2008, Christopher Stone was diagnosed with ALS at the young age of 34. As a result, the Christopher Stone Fund was established to help support the Stone family as they went through this challenging time. Sadly, Chris lost his fight in the summer of 2009, less than a year after being diagnosed. However, the Christopher Stone Fund continues to actively raise funds for local ALS Chapters, as well as other charitable causes.”
There will be prizes, chowder, and of course, Guinness! See you there.
When: September 2nd, 2012 @ 10am
Where: Old Warren Marina, Water Street, Warren
