Patriots Unite to Run As One in Bethel

7:49am tomorrow, Saturday May 18th, following the National Anthem, Bag Pipes playing Amazing Grace, a Bugle Playing of Taps, and a ceremonial gun-shot, Bethel becomes the host CT Town for the national "Run As One" event which will bring together Team Red, White and Blue, Team Rubicon, Help Our Military Heroes, Operation Vet Fit and Hundreds of supportive community members and businesses as the 5K participants run the grueling course to pay tribute to all that have died defending our nation. This will be the type of community event the residents will want to witness. The course provides ample opportunity for spectators to wave the Stars and Stripes as the runners make their way through the Downtown Bethel course. Tomorrow between 8am-9am grab your American Flag and cheer on all the runners in Bethel's 2nd Annual 5K Memorial Tribute Run. Where: Up School Street, or Up Hoyts Hill, or Up Governors Lane, or Along South Street between Nashville Rd and Blackman Ave, or Along Blackman Ave between South Street and Elizabeth Street, or along Elizabeth Street. Run starts at 8am in front of the Bethel American Legion Post 100 on Elizabeth Street and finishes at the same location. Hope to see you all out waving our Stars and Stripes! http://bethelfitness.com/5k.htm
