Laurel Kluge 5K Run This Saturday At Burbank

The Laurel Kluge 5K Ribbon Run/Walk is just days away, plenty of time to put in a few extra miles and plenty of time to register. This year's race is Saturday, Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. at the Reading YMCA.

Participants get T-shirts, will hear some great music, and there will be race awards. If you have kids, there will be free babysitting (ages 3-8). The Reading YMCA, site of the start/finish, will be open to the public all day (free classes, gym, pool). You can register for the race here.

Your participation in the 3rd Annual Laurel Kluge 5K Ribbon Run/Walk will provide support to the PINK and LiveSTRONG programs. These programs are designed to help adult cancer survivors achieve their health goals. This free program offers people affected by cancer a sage, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening body and mind.

On site parking is available as well as street parking on Arthur B. Lord Drive and Birchmeadow. Plan accordingly and allot yourself enough time before the race.

The Laurel Kluge 5K Ribbon Run/Walk is part of the Greater Boston YMCA 5K Race Series. You can find additional races at www.ymcaboston.org/5k
