Fun Run draws kids despite the heat
DERRY — In spite of the heat wave, 75 more registrants participated in the July 8 edition of the Greater Derry Track Club's Kid's Summer Fun Run event. This week saw entrants from as far as Maryland and California. The combined total for runners and food donations through three weeks stands at 708 runners and 987 pounds of food.
GDTC members lead the kids in stretching exercises and provide running tips. The 2- and 3-year-olds run 50 meters, 4- to 6-year-olds run 200 meters, 7- and 8-year-olds run 300 meters, 9- and 10-year-olds run the 600 meters, and the 11- to 13-year-olds run the cross-country mile. Those 14 and older run the open mile on the track, which brings out the local high school elite runners.
The GDTC also supplies entrants with water, Gatorade and watermelon. Runners receive weekly participation ribbons, which are supplied by the Derry Recreation Department. Runners completing the series receive medals and T-shirts from GDTC. For more information and pictures, visit gdtc.org.
Future event dates are July 15, 22, 29, and Aug. 5 at the Pinkerton Academy track. Registration is at 6 p.m.; races start at 6:30 p.m. Check gdtc.org for weather updates. Runners are asked to bring a nonperishable food item to restock food pantries in the greater Derry area.
