The second annual "Run Manchester" will begin on Saturday, August 1, 2009, the morning of Manchester's seventh annual Riverfolk Festival. "Run Manchester" will feature 10k, 5k, and 1-mile run events, and is open to everyone! Run, jog or walk-or even roll (This course is handicap accessible) your way to the finish line and continue to be a part of Manchester’s newest tradition on August 1st. Prizes will be awarded in each age category.

Everyone is welcome to join us as we "Run Manchester". If you missed the inaugural run, we had over 250 participants.  Be sure to mark your calendar if you an experienced runner, an avid walker, or do you simply enjoy fresh air? "Run Manchester" is just for you. The race will take participants through historic downtown Manchester, through the quaint village streets, and highlight the community's beautiful schools and parks!

Be sure to save the date and invite family and friends to join you for a fun-filled day in Manchester, beginning with the morning "Run Manchester" and sharing in the renowned Riverfolk Festival, which will follow the race and run well into the evening. Make this a FUN day to be in Manchester!
