3rd Annual Flyer 5K Breakaway Walk/Run Saturday at Walsh Middle

The Framingham Flyers Boys Hockey Team presents the 3rd Annual Flyer 5K Breakaway Walk/Run Saturday, Sept. 20 at Walsh Middle School.

Online registration has closed, but walkers & runners can register the day of the event. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.

The 3.1 mile race starts at 10 a.m. First prize is two Boston Bruins tickets.

Registration fee is $15 for those under 21 and $25 for adults.

Join the Flyers as they trade in their skates for sneakers to raise funds for the team. The goal of this event is to raise funds for equipment such as replacement uniforms, gear and safety equipment that is sometimes quietly supplied to players who can’t afford on their own. Additionally, our fundraising money will be used as benevolent funds to assist our players and alumni in times of need, as well as take care of any unfunded needs for the team.

“As part of our commitment to the community, the boys have chosen to benefit the Loring Arena Legacy Foundation by doing community service for them and giving them a team donation,”said Susanne Caso, one of the organizers.

The event takes place rain or shine.

There is an awards ceremony and cookout following the 5K. Prizes awarded for first, second and third in each age category.
