Coventry Resident Fred Zuleger III Celebrated for 25-Years of Participation in CVS Health Downtown 5k

The 25th anniversary celebration of the CVS Health Downtown 5k is off to a running start! On September 16, CVS Health kicked off the 2014 CVS Health Downtown 5k with a special gathering on the State House lawn that honored the ‘CVS Health Downtown 5k Dashers’—a group of runners who have participated in every Downtown 5k since its 1990 inception. The Dashers were presented with a commemorative 25th anniversary shirt from Eileen Howard Boone, senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and philanthropy for CVS Health, and Charlie Breagy, long-time race director and one of the founders of the Downtown 5k. The Dashers will be racing into history on Sunday, September 21 as they participate in their 25th Downtown 5k.
