MIDDLETOWN--Middletown’s 10th Run4Downtown got its official kick off at Franklin Square on Aug. 7. The race will be on Aug. 15 beginning at 8:45 am for walkers and 9:00 am for runners. “The Run4Downtown is like Middletown—It’s all-inclusive. It’s young, its old, it’s all ethnicities,” said Dave Madden, owner of Something Sweet and organizer of the event.
Participants will be issued a number with a computer chip built in that will record their finishing time. Prizes will be awarded in the order of finish. Called a Challenge Event, women will have an almost five minute lead on the men racers.
Wild Soul Yoga studio will host an outdoor yoga event. The YMCA will have a fun zone for kids with a kids’ dash for kids 12-under. There will be face painting, hoola hooping, and an inflatable caterpillar. All kids’ activities will be free that day.
