14th Annual Michael’s Run to Benefit the Hopkinton, MA Respite Center – Saturday, October 22

Every year in October, The Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center organizes a very special road race in Hopkinton, MA.  Register to run, walk or wheel this 5k race on a beautiful fall day in New England.  The race begins at the Hopkinton Town Common at noon.   Awards are presented for the top three males and top three females in the following categories:  6 and under, 7-13, 14-19, 20-30, 21-40, 41-50, 51-60 and 60+.  Registration begins at 10AM, but you can pre-register by downloading the registration form at http://www.hopkintonrespite.com/html/michaelsrun.html and dropping it off at the Respite Center in Hopkinton.

The Respite Center is named in memory of Michael Lisnow.  Michael taught many people that winning is not the goal, but finishing to the best of your ability is the true goal.  This is a family event, and a barbeque will be offered to participants following the race.

Michael Lisnow was born 16 weeks premature and weighed just over a pound at birth.  The result of his premature birth was that Michael had cerebral palsy and was blind.  Still, he touched the lives of countless people with his smile and laugh.  Through this run the Spirit of Michael lives on.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Michael Lisnow Respite Center of Hopkinton.  Please make checks payable to The Respite Center, 112 Main St., Hopkinton, MA 01748.

The fee schedule for the race is: 
$20 per person pre-registered barbeque and awards following the race
$ 5  per person for the barbeque only
$25 per person day of race
