RUN THE GAUNTLET with Shoreline Greenway Trail’s Green Team and raise funds for the Trail.
Trailblazer’s 2nd Annual RUN THE GAUNTLET, a seriously fun 5K obstacle race to benefit Shoreline Greenway Trail, is happening on Sunday, September 29, 2013. Heats start at 9 am, 10 am, and 11 am.
Participants will face 14 obstacles — tires, hay bales, high walls, water, cargo nets and more – while running 3.1 miles along the course set on the beautiful shores of the Hammonasset Beach in Madison, CT.
Grab your friends, your kids, and your parents and join the SGT GREEN TEAM, led by our intrepid senior Board member John Paulson, who had so much fun last year he’s back for more. Runners of any age (12 years and above) are welcome. The first 20 supporters to join our Green Team will receive a free Shoreline Greenway Trail ‘Green Team‘ t-shirt.
To register, go to www.TrailblazerRaces.com. Enter “SGT Green Team” in the space provided for team name and check “open team.” The site also enables you to ask your friends and family to sponsor you and the Team to raise funds for the Trail. For more information about the Team, contact John at jbpaulson@att.net
