Sno-Run event
A new wrinkle is being added to the Andy Santerre Sno-Run. In addition to the snowmobile event, a 3k-run/1.86 mile walk will be held to raise funds for AMHC Sexual Assault Services.
The run will be at 9:45 a.m. on Feb. 11, the same day as the Sno-Run. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Griffeth Ford in Caribou, which is also the starting point for the race.
A $15 donation is required to participate. For $30 an embroidered hat is included.
All walkers and runners will be placed in a drawing for two dinner tickers to the Sno-Run dinner at the Crow’s Nest that evening.
Contact AMHC at 498-6431 to register in advance. For more information go to AMHC.org.
