Moose on the Run set for Sunday

GREENVILLE — The Camden National Bank Moose on the Run 5K race/walk and 1K Fun Run will take place on Sunday, Oct. 9. The race, sponsored by Camden National Bank and presented by the Piscataquis Regional YMCA, is now in its 15th year.

“We’re happy to have the race begin and end at C.A. Dean Hospital again this year.” said Rod Willey, the PRYMCA’s executive director. “It is wonderful that the hospital opens its doors for the race. We’re so lucky to have Camden National Bank and C.A. Dean Hospital as our partners in supporting a healthy community. “

The 1K Fun Run for children 12 and under will start at 9:30 a.m. The 5K will begin with the walkers departing at 10 a.m. and then the runners will leave at 10:30 a.m.

This year, all the proceeds from the race will go toward scholarships for the PRYMCA’s new child care center which opened recently. “We want the people and businesses in the Moosehead area to know that when they support Moose on the Run they are also supporting their community,” Willey said.

Registrants will receive a commemorative shirt. Participants will also receive a goody bag filled with treats and be eligible to win prizes donated by local businesses. In Greenville, the public can pick up registration forms at Camden National Bank. Forms are also available at the Piscataquis Regional YMCA in Dover-Foxcroft, by calling the PRYMCA at 564-7111 or at www.prymca.org.
