2011
FUn Run

Family Fun Run 2011

What a marvelous day for the Fun Run! Perfect weather and double last year’s turnout. Many thanks to all who participated. Click for Fun Run times: kids, all 5K, and break-out 5K overall & division winners.

See 94 photos by Cathy Varunok in the Miles of Hope Photo Gallery.  See 738 more photos by Bob Kopac on Shutterfly.

The Family Fun 5K Run raised $20,000  for Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. It was held at Tymor Park in the Town of Union Vale, NY on Saturday April 30, 2011. It was organized by the Mid-Hudson Road Runner’s Club.

The race had nearly 600 participants including 150 children in the kids’ half-mile run. The event was honor of Bernadette Pikul, a resident of Highland who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Thank you to Lori Decker and Lynne Kopac, co-Chairmen of the Family Fun Run for a very successful race! Lori took time out from starting Pulse Cycling and Fitness in Millbrook and Lynne juggled her job at IBM and her love of running to make this the most successful Family Fun Run ever!
