The 10 th Annual
Ralph K. Thomas 8k Run, 2.5 Mi. walk
Hello,
For the past 10 years, several of us in the community have organized and put on a road race, to help raise money and awareness for diabetes, a disease as we know that affects many tribal members. This race also honors and recognizes a great Penobscot runner, Ralph Thomas, who is a member of the Maine Running Hall of Fame and is a role model to our youth. The race is also a way to generate interest in running and walking within our community, which as research shows, helps in combatting diabetes. The event is a great way to exercise and then meet and talk over a light meal. We are also looking for donations for the event and this can be done until Friday November 2nd.
If you would like to donate an item or time, please contact Dee Love at 817-7301 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Sincerely
Ralph K Thomas Race Committee
