Registration Open For Putnam CAC's Annual 5K To Fight Child Abuse

BREWSTER, NY — Registration has opened for the Child Advocacy Center of Putnam County's annual 5K walk-run-bike-hike event to end child abuse.

This year the One Too Many 5K will be held Sept. 16-18 as a virtual fundraiser.

Participants may choose their preferred exercise (run, walk, bike, hike etc.) to complete the 5K (3.1 miles). You can participate at your own pace, on your own route, in teams or by yourself, wherever and whenever between that Friday and Sunday.

It is open to people of all ages from any community — in case you have friends or family somewhere else that you want to challenge alongside yourself.

Register online making sure you select Putnam County. Do it by Aug. 12 for a guaranteed race t-shirt. With a $40 registration fee, participants receive a One Too Many NY 5K t-shirt, a run/walk bib, and a chance to win some exciting prizes.

Your contributions will help CAC’s ongoing mission to end child abuse and provide free support services and hope for a brighter future to children and families across Putnam County. The Child Advocacy Center of Putnam County is here to support and protect child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and domestic violence.

One in 10 children will be abused before their 18th birthday. The vital work of the Child Advocacy Center of Putnam County needs your help to continue to serve this community within a safe, family-friendly environment offering prevention education, advocacy, justice, and a path to healing.
