25th Annual Sullivan 5K Run/Walk
Saturday, August 25, 2012
Washington Park, Oak Bluffs (opposite Our Market)
Kids Fun Run Start: 8:45 a.m.
Walker Start: 9:00a.m. • Runner Start: 9:30 a.m.
A great end-of-summer event for the whole family! Racers of all ages run or walk the US Track and Field Association Certified 5K course around the East Chop bluffs, with a spectacular view of Nantucket Sound. Free Run/Walk t-shirts are distributed to the first 300 registered participants on a first come, first served basis.
Founded in 1989 by Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 1989-1993, the race promotes Dr. and Mrs. Sullivan’s belief in the health benefits of daily exercise. This event has raised much needed funds to support the Hospital’s efforts to improve the health of our Island community.
The 2011 race was a rousing success (no thanks to Hurricane Irene which blew through the following day). Congratulations to the winning Runners, Erin Gunn & Chris Spinney and the winning Walkers, Jill Zamarro & Marston Clough.
