TROY — More than 600 runners of all ages and all skill levels raced through the downtown streets Sunday morning as part of the annual Literacy Run/Walk event, which also drew crowds of supporters. The event, organized by Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County, featured a Children’s Fun Run, where children 8 and younger could showcase their running talent as well as a One-Mile Youth Run, which allowed participants 14 and younger to run like the wind. The event’s largest race, however, was the open 5K Run/Walk that began and ended at City Hall, attracting more than 400 walkers and runners of all ages. Complete Article from the Troy Record Thanks to ALL the volunteers, sponsors and participants who made this great event possible AND helped the Literacy Volunteers raise over $ 30,000 to support adult and family literacy programs in our community. We know we couldn't do it without you!!!!!
