The Lion's Run 'Community Challenge' 5K Race/Walkathon

7th annual Montville Lions 'Lions Run'
Sunday, June 2nd, at 9 AM 
Montville Polish American Club on Maple Ave

The 'Lions Run' is an entertaining 5K road race and walkathon accompanied by a picnic and live music.

Over the past 3 years alone the 'Lions Run', also known as BRENDAN'S CHALLENGE and KAHLAN'S CHALLENGE, has donated $14,000 to benefit members of our community in need. 

Usually, the Lions Club allocates all money raised at the road race to a singular recipient. However, this past year has presented the Club with a vast variety of people in need; ranging from those visually impaired, supply shortage at the local food bank, people who have sustained substantial losses due to natural disasters and/or fire, and those that are still suffering from a struggling economy, among many more. 

With all this taken into consideration, the Club had decided to dub this year's race the COMMUNITY CHALLENGE and will donate 100% of the money raised to these various causes.

Please invite all friends, family, and students. 

The course is the same as last year- hills, turns, challenging, entertainment at several points, and heartbreak hill on the home stretch!

Following the race the Lion's clubs will serve picnic style food and provide live entertainment.

$20 before the race includes picnic/entertainment ticket/t-shirt

$25 on race day includes picnic/entertainment ticket
$10 picnic/entertainment only ticket. 

Thank you in advance for all of your support!!!

Please to contact me with any questions or concerns.
