Description

This race benefits The Stephen G. Ward Memorial Scholarship Fund

Steve was young, vibrant and ambitions when he was so needlessly taken from us on September 11th, 2001, He was a funny, charismatic and loving son, brother, uncle and friend and was climbing a promising career ladder at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was one of the best and the brightest, a symbol of what America lost that tragic day. This event is to honor and remember all of those we lost. Event t-shirt for first 100 registered.   

Kids' Fun Run starts at the adjacent Gorham High School track at 8:30AM. Kids 8 years old and under will run one lap (.25 miles) and kids 9 to 12 years old will run 2 laps (.50 miles).

5K will start after all the parents return from the kids' fun and after the send-off of our uniformed emergency responders who complete the 5K course in full gear (!). Typically the runners and walkers start around 9:15. 

If race is canceled because of extreme weather conditions or any conditions beyond our control, we will not be able to refund registration fees.
