WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – Aug. 9, 2012 – On Sept. 8, runners and walkers can step up to make a difference at “The 4 Miler at Garret Mountain” race event. Sponsored by the Sax Macy Fromm (SMF) Foundation, this first annual fundraiser will benefit St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Department, which provides child life services to children who suffer from cancer and serious blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia.
The race event will feature a 4-mile run on a USA Track and Field (USATF) certified race course, as well as a 1.5-mile trail walk and kids’ dashes. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. on race day, followed by the 4-mile run at 9 a.m., trail walk at 9:10 a.m., and kids’ events at 10:15 a.m. Prizes will be awarded for overall male and female winners, as well as to winners in the 4 Miler age groups.
Pre-registration for participants through Sept. 3 is $22 ($20 for USATF members). After Sept. 3 and on race day, registration is $25. To register for the event, which will be held rain or shine, visit www.raceforum.com/garret. Event day highlights will include live DJ entertainment, prizes, kids’ activities, and food and beverages. Tech t-shirts will be given to participants while supplies last.
The SMF Foundation is absorbing all expenses associated with the event in order to donate 100 percent of the proceeds directly to St. Joseph’s Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Department.
