The East Rockaway Education Foundation will be holding its second annual 5k race on March 25 at 9 a.m. The money collected will fund projects for teachers and administrators in the East Rockaway School District that are not included in the 2017-18 budget.
“The 5K is a tremendous event that really illustrates the spirit that has kept these neighborhoods strong,” said Michael Martino, the community relations manager for Suez Water Long Island, which is helping to sponsor the event. “We are proud to be a sponsor.”
Participants must register and pay an entry fee to race the 3.1 miles from Althouse 1848, located at 101 Althouse Ave., to Skippy’s Way near Lazy Lobster, which is located at 10 Front St. For adults, the entry fee costs $20 prior to the race, and $25 on the day of the race. Children 14 and younger who register before the day of the outing can participate for $12 and children who register at the race are charged $15. The costs include a bib number, a T-shirt and refreshments.
