OXFORD - The second annual Ryan’s Superhero Run/Walk will be held Sept. 15.
This event is to honor the memory of Ryan VerNooy, a young Oxford resident who died in December 2010.
Last year's memorial race raised more than $9,000, organizers said.
All proceeds will benefit The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford. The camp staff is dedicated to providing a fun camp experience to seriously ill children and their families throughout the Northeast, free of charge.
Check-in and day-of registration begins at 7:30 a.m. The race will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m, from the Colonial Tavern at 24 Hawley Road. There will be free on-site parking available.
Participants have the choice of completing a 5K run or a 1.5-mile walk that each start and end at the Colonial Tavern. Some rolling hills are included in the course.
Superhero costumes are encouraged, but not required. All ages are invited to participate; strollers are welcome, but no pets.
The first 400 participants registered will receive a commemorative T-shirt from the event, and a complimentary gift bag. Food and water will be provided.
Awards will be given to the overall top three male and female finishers, as well as the top 3 males and females from the following age groups: 12 and under; 13-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60 and above. These and additional raffle prizes have been generously donated by local businesses and restaurants.
Pre-registration is $20. Day-of registration is $25.
