It's the confluence of all things wonderful: a great cause, crisp fall air (and possibly other interesting variations on New England weather!), scenic views, neighbors and friends, and yes, Atkins' famed cider donuts (as well as other local delicacies). Runners, walkers, spectators, and supporters are all encouraged to join this year's second annual Cider Donut Run (10k) and walk (2 miles) on Sunday, November 3rd. The 10k road race starts and finishes at the Mill River Recreation Area and takes runners into UMass and through North Amherst, including scenic Puffer's Pond. The 2 mile walk brings participants to Puffer's Pond and back. Last year (2012), 426 people registered, and 406 finished - pretty impressive for the first year.
All proceeds benefit the Amherst Survival Center -- last year’s race participants donated almost $13,000 – with your help we can top that number in 2013! New this year is a free pasta dinner sponsored by Bertucci’s. The pasta dinner is open to all runners, walkers, and family members, and race number pick-up will be available for anyone who has pre-registered for the Sunday event. This pre-race dinner will be held at the Survival Center on Saturday, November 2nd, 5pm-7pm. More information and registration links can be found
here.
See you there!
