VALLEY FRIENDSHIP TOUR
Saturday, June 12th, 2010
A Fun Day for a Great Cause!
Gather family, friends and co-workers for a day of fun and exercise on Saturday, June 12h, at the 25th Annual Valley Friendship Tour. Walk, jog, or pedal along one of five non-competitive routes. Water stops, sweep vehicles, bike tuning and emergency services ensure an enjoyable and safe event. At the Finish Line, participants will enjoy a healthy lunch, music, and great prizes!
Build Your Team
Participate as an individual or as part of a team.
Teams
Form a team from your company, community organization, or family. Teams consist of two or more people and are encouraged to raise at least $1,000. Register your team by May 14th and your team’s name will be printed on your T-shirts!
***Non-Profit Teams will actually be fundraising for themselves as well, as we will split the funds raised 50/50 with any community organizations that raise $1,000+.
Individuals
Register to meet new people and join your neighbors in supporting a wonderful organization. Individual registrants are asked to raise at least $100.
Choose One of Five Routes
50 Miles, (Start Time TBD)
Cycle twice around the 25 mile route (for serious cyclists)
25 Miles – Gerry’s Ride, ( Start Time TBD)
In 2004, we dedicated our 25 mile route in the memory of Gerry Gaudette, our friend and mentor for almost three decades. We invite you to join the Gaudette family and friends again this year to celebrate Gerry’s life. This 25 mile ride takes you through some of the most beautiful spots in the Blackstone Valley!
10 Kilometer, (Start Time TBD)
Walk or jog twice around the 5K
5 Kilometer, ( Start Time TBD)
This 5K route, open to both walkers and joggers, will take you through the historic Northbridge area. This is a great event for those who wish to get exercise, prep for upcoming races, or just want to spend the morning out with family and friends!
Golden Mile, ( Start Time TBD)
The Golden Mile will take you through Whitinsville and is perfect for families with strollers, young children who wish to walk, wheel chairs and seniors. The later start time enables you to come out for a nice short stroll and get back for a great lunch and entertainment to be enjoyed by all!
***Prizes will be given to the top three individual fundraisers and the top three fundraising teams!!
