Manchester's Old Fashioned 4th of July 5K Run/Walk will be held again in conjunction with the annual "Old Fashioned 4th" celebration, a fun filled event guaranteed to provide fun for the entire family.

  If you're one of those folks whose only time to work out is after dark or very early in the morning when the sun isn't up yet, follow simple precautions, light or reflective clothing, face traffic and so forth. It really does make a difference to the drivers if you face traffic. Use sun screen and face protectors. Don't be deceived, the sun can affect you as well as the cold on your skin. And again, reward yourself. Your favorite Latte and/or a hot bath sounds good.

  The 5K Run/Walk will be held on July 4th at the Manchester Rec. Center and will start at 9:00am, with registration beginning at 8:00am. This year's event features a new, improved and scenic course that will start and finish on the track. The pre-registration fee is $15.00 (received by July 1, 2003) or $17.00 on race day. The BKVR member pre-registration fee (received by July 1, 2003) is $13.00.

  "Manchester's Old Fashioned Fourth" is a major fund raiser organized by the Manchester Rotary Club to help fulfill its mission of distributing grants that support local education, youth athletics, cultural activities, social service organizations, environment, civic programs, health care and non-profit organizations.
