Help People with Invisible Illness at the 2011 Pain Awareness Run/Walk September 24

Support people who live with pain on September 24 by participating in the Pain Awareness Run/Walk in Greenfield. The event was started this year to help raise awareness about acute and chronic pain and painful conditions.

September is Pain Awareness Month.  What better way to acknowledge it than a community event coming together around this important issue?

The 5K run/walk is scheduled to begin at 9:00am and run immediately through the Greenfield Golf Course on the perimeter of the property. You will run the gently rolling hills of the golf course as a trail run for the first 2K. The remaining 3K will be run through Greenfield Park on paved terrain..
