Pain Awareness 5K Run/3K Walk

The purpose of this event is to help raise awareness of acute and chronic pain and painful conditions.  All proceeds from this event will benefit the American Chronic Pain Foundation. Over 50 million americans suffer from pain each year. It is our goal to spread the word of hope for a better quality of life...noone should live with pain.

On Saturday September 7th our 5K will start at 9:00am with the walkers following shortly thereafter. The 5K course will initialy travel a traditional- style cross country run course following the sceanic surroundings of the Greenfield park, finishing through the plush forest areas of Greenfield parks' paved trails. to accomodate the large range of abilities and skill levels, the 3k walk will proceed along the paved pathways. Aid stations will be provided on both courses with food, fun and awards to follow. Pets, strollers and wheelchairs welcome.

The
Walk/ Run features a $250 cash prize for the fastest male and female 5k
runners. Registration for the Pain Awareness Run/Walk is $20 per person on an
individual basis and $10 per person for teams of four or more.
