Special People United to Ride (SPUR), a therapeutic horsemanship program in the Lincroft section of Middletown, has announced its second annual virtual run, scheduled for Oct. 3-9.
Any time during that week, participants can walk, trot or gallop for 2 miles wherever they like to help raise money for the SPUR scholarship fund, which provides support for lessons for individuals who cannot otherwise afford them, according to a press release.

SPUR virtual run participants will receive a long-sleeve race T-shirt. All registrants will also be entered into weekly drawings running now through Oct. 2. Seven lucky participants will receive a $100 gift card to any McLoone’s restaurant, according to the press release.
New this year is an additional opportunity to earn prizes. Each participant who raises at least $100 will be entered into a random drawing on Oct. 10. For every $100 raised, an individual will receive additional entries.

Race sponsors to date are: McLoone’s Restaurant; C&C Air-Heat-Plumbing; IBO Construction Group; NGA Millworking; the McAuliffe family; the Pattwell family; Animal Bodywork and Aromatherapy; and Off The Hook Restaurant.
Once participants register they can set up a fundraising page to send to friends, family members and co-workers to enlist their financial support for the SPUR virtual run, according to the press release.
