WILMINGTON, MA – On May 5, 2019 at 11am, We’re One Wilmington (WOW) will host its ninth annual 5K Run for Wilmington / Kim Forte walk, featuring a fun-filled morning of entertainment, friendly competition and community spirit. Participants will gather at the Wilmington Town Common to celebrate both the life of Kim Forte and the amazing spirit of this very special town. The course is fast and flat (and now USATF Certified) and is ideal for all ages and athletic abilities. Last year’s event attracted runners, walkers and spectators from Wilmington and surrounding towns.
Registration is now open. Don’t miss out on the fun – it is a wonderful way to kick off spring! Registration can be completed online or through our mail-in registration form. Both can be found at http://onewilmington.org/2019/02/19/5k-registration-is-now-open/
Proceeds from the road race will be used, in part, to fund the WOW scholarship program, which has awarded $8,500 annually to deserving Wilmington students over the past nine years. For the sixth year, WOW will also donate $3 per youth and $5 per adult registration back to local non-profit organizations selected by registered participants. Since we have started this tradition, our participants have raised over $20,000 for many deserving Wilmington organizations.
WOW is actively seeking sponsors for this event. Opportunities run the gamut and no level of sponsorship is too small. It is largely through the generosity of sponsors that we WOW is to fund our many charitable initiatives. Sponsorship levels and benefits can be found on WOW’s website at http://onewilmington.org/events/5k-road-race/sponsorship/. Early bird rates are available until May 3, 2019.
