The town of Brookfield will host the 14th Annual 5k and 10k Maine Event at 10 a.m. Oct. 10 at Brookfield Town Park, Academy Road.
The Maine Event is in loving memory of Ethel Maine, who passed away in 1994 after waging a valiant battle with cancer. Her positive outlook and enthusiastic attitude was an inspiration to all those around her. She enjoyed routine walks with other local ladies who shared her love for the local beauty. This event is a tribute to both the local beauty and the beauty of Ethel's Spirit.
The scenic route of the run begins and ends at Brookfield Town Park, Academy Road. Both the 10k and 5k “fun run” roll with some hills, winding through the hamlet, covered bridge, and state land.
Pre-registration is $15, and $20 on the day of the race between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Oct. 10. Students of Brookfield Central School District can register for $10.
Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt, complimentary snack bag and beverage. Awards will be given to the top three overall men and women for the 5k and 10k. First place winners of each age division will also receive awards.
