Teams of five high school runners may be entered in the 4-Mile Run, with the top finishers from each high school, male and female, competing for the Hartigan High School Challenge Trophy.
"The St. Patrick’s runs are a great way for our organization to kick off fundraising in 2012," said Michael Mulè, president of The Townwide Fund of Huntington. "With the help of all of our local sponsors and runners, the St. Patrick’s run allows us to raise funds for so many worthy local charities, and it’s critical to understand that the people they serve are Huntington residents. So, I urge everyone in our Township to 'Donate Local,' which means donate to The Townwide Fund of Huntington."
The main race sponor is Carter, Deluca, Farrell, & Schmidt LLP, but additional sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information, to become a sponsor or register for either run, please contact Bea Hartigan, Race Chairperson, at (631) 271-3349 or visit http://townwidefund.org.
