Red, White and Blue Marathon

Runners: Prepare to take your mark for Findlay Family YMCA’s 5th Annual Red, White and Blue Marathon – a race designed to honor our military – starting at Riverbend Recreation Area. “The past couple of years we have had families donate signs and we put up photos of military members from the community around the race course,” said Stephanie Parsons, race director. “We want to recognize their service to let them know we’re really thinking of them.”

Runners can choose between a marathon, half-marathon or 10K. The Red, White and Blue is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, Parsons said. Participants can also walk a half-marathon. New this year, runners can enter the Corporate Cup Challenge, where companies sponsor teams of three runners to each run a leg of the 10K. Companies are awarded points for number of teams, team speed, best team shirt and more.

Sunday, October 5. Sign up at the YMCA until October 4. Keep an eye on the event’s Facebook page at “Findlay Red White and Blue” for dates and times to pick up runner’s packets. For more
