The Somerset Patriots will host their 4th annual kilometer run on Saturday, Sept. 22, starting at 9 a.m.
The run will benefit the Somerset Patriots Children’s Educational & Sportsmanship Foundation and will feature a moderate course looping around the entire ballpark and finishing with a lap around the warning track of the playing field. Runners will end the run by crossing home plate.
Registration includes a T-shirt for the first 250 registered runners, a goody bag and a ticket voucher to the Patriots game against the Bridgeport Bluefish for Fan Appreciation Day the next afternoon at 1:05. There will also be an opportunity to buy additional tickets for family and friends at a discounted rate. Fans can take part in a pre-game autograph session and all kids can run the bases following the game.
The Patriots will recognize the winners of the 5K on the field after the race. Awards will be given to the overall male and female winners as well as the first placers in each age group.
Runners can register for $20 prior tomorrow, Sept. 14, and $25 for every registration submitted after Sept. 14. Registration is available online at www.raceforum.com/somersetpatriots. Participants can also register by contacting Brian Cahill at 908-252-0700, ext. 222, or [email protected].
