In this story you’ll hear from Curt Karls about an event that is taking place Saturday May 17, 2008 in Cold Spring that will pay tribute to those involved in the Armed Services. The festivities start early in the morning at Springer Park and will continue on past the race.
It's our chance to thank those who have and are serving America and providing freedom around the world. Our goal is to line the race route with "flag-waving" Americans cheering on the runners...especially the soldiers and veterans who are running.
Come early to participate in the opening ceremonies, followed by a 5K Run/Walk and 1K Kids Fun Run. Make sure to join us at the finish line as well to enjoy music and lunch. This will be a fun-filled day with activities for the entire family. Proceeds from this patriotic event will benefit our Disabled American Veterans. Donations will also be accepted on the day of the race.
