2nd Annual Sunset Run For The Warriors ~ Shelton CT ~ August 28 2011


Put on your running shoes, start stretching your leg muscles, and get ready to walk OR run in the 2nd Annual Sunset Run for the Warriors on Sunday, August 28, 2011 in Shelton.   Register for the event now up to the day of the event.

The Sunset Run for the Warriors race consists of a 10K run and a 1 mile walk and will begin at 4:15 p.m. at the Huntington Green.  Check out the running map.



Team competition is encouraged with teams consisting of 4-6 runners in four categories: men, women, co-ed and military.

The run is dedicated to service men and women wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan and to families of those who were killed in the line of duty.  It is a recognition and celebration of their strength, commitment and courage. 

The single registrant fee is $30.  There is special pricing for veterans, teams, college students, and under-18 runners.  Active duty service members, spouses, and children may race for free.  


Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each category along with other awards as well.

All proceeds benefit wounded servicemen and women and families of those who have fallen through a national non-profit organization, Hope for the Warriors.  This organization offers various programs to assist with immediate needs and family support.

Barbara:

Sounds like a fun event for a worthy cause.  I am not sure a one mile walk would be challenging enough for me. Hope the event raises lots of money for returning vets.

What a great event for an even greater cause. The 2nd Annual Sunset Run For The Warriors Barbara should be a fun/worthwhile event for Shelton CT and the courage of all service men and women!

Barbara, sounds like a wonderful way to spend a few hours and also stay a bit healthy. I use to run regularly. Now when that thought comes into my mind, I sit down until it passes.

Barbara, many runners would like to run when it is cooler out, either very early or later!   Hope the mosquitoes are controlled!

Evelyn -- Then you can do the 10K run!  Think I'd rather do the walk! It was very successful on its first 'run' last year.  Hopefully, it will be even better for the second year.

Larry & Sheila -- I love any events that support and benefit the military.  We too often take them and what they do for us for granted.

Ed -- You are TOO funny!

Joan -- Well this is late afternoon. It could be fairly hot, but much of the route has some shade here and there so that will help.
