"Run For Allie" :On August 24, 2009, 15-year-old Allie Castner was tragically struck and killed by a car as she was crossing the street in her hometown, Marblehead, Massachusetts. Allie touched and enriched so many lives. It is through the Allie Castner Scholarship Fund that Allie will live on, providing other young high school students with the opportunity to benefit while representing the honor, integrity and purpose with which Allie celebrated each and every day: Loving, Living & Learning.

By supporting this worthy cause, we can all continue to hold Allie's world – her spirit, her memory, and her remarkable life – in our hearts forever. Runners can choose which every category you prefer: there are two categories for the 20 and 10 mile; $5 donation or $10 donation or you could run in "Allies Relay" on a two or four person team in which $25 of the entry fee will go directly to Allies fund. Anyone who runs for Allie will be given a special gift, and the top three overall in each race will be given a special award. All runners will have a chance to place in their age group category as well.

Race Shirts limited to first 300 runners!! All "Allie Runners" receive a shirt and special gift.
