The 39^th season of the Utica Parkway Development Runs/Walk will begin on Wednesday, May 14, 2008.  The runs will be held every Wednesday evening through July 16^th. 

The same format will be used as in previous years … two-tenths of a mile fun run for ages 7 and under at 6:45 p.m. followed by 2 sections of the half-mile fun run for ages 8-9 and 10-12; the 10-kilometer run at 7:00 p.m. and the 2-mile run at 7:05 p.m.  A walk of about 3 miles will start at 6:30 p.m.

Trophies will be awarded for participating in six weekly runs/walk, a T-shirt for eight weeks, and a certificate for all ten weeks.  Every 2008 participant who has completed all ten weeks will also receive a pin designating that accomplishment.

Registration will take place at the Ski Chalet of the Parkway Recreation Center starting at 5:30 p.m. the first two weeks and at 6:00 p.m. thereafter.  There will be a charge of $1.00 per person ($2.50 maximum per family) each week.  A liability waiver must be signed.  A parent's or guardian's signature is required for those under eighteen.
