Registration is Open for Sixth Annual 5K Run for Wilmington/Kim Forte Walk

WILMINGTON, MA - Registration is now open for We're One Wilmington's sixth annual 5K Run for Wilmington / Kim Forte Walk on April 24 at 11 a.m.

This fun filled morning of entertainment, friendly competition and community spirit will once again happen on the Town Common where participants will gather to celebrate both the life of Kim Forte and the amazing spirit of this very special town.

The course is fast and flat and ideal for all ages and athletic abilities. Last year’s event attracted over 500 runners, walkers and spectators from Wilmington and surrounding towns.

Registration is now open. Don’t miss out on the fun. It’s a wonderful way to kick off spring! Registration can be completed online or through the mail-in registration form. Both can be found at http://www.onewilmington.org/road-race/registration/.

Proceeds from the road race will be used, in part, to fund the WOW scholarship program – which has awarded ~$30,000 to deserving Wilmington students over the past six years.

For the third year, WOW will also donate $3 per youth and $5 per adult registration back to local non-profit organizations selected by registered participants. Since WOW began, its participants have raised more than $6,000 for 50 deserving organizations.

Wilmington nonprofit groups are invited to register their name (if it is not already listed) and participating supporters are encouraged to select their organization upon registration. A list of organizations can be found on our registration page at http://www.onewilmington.org/road-race/registration/. To request your organization be added, contact Joe Martiniello at wow5k@onewilmington.org.

WOW is actively seeking sponsors for this event. Opportunities run the gamut and no level of sponsorship is too small. It is largely through the generosity of the group's sponsors that they are able to fund their many charitable initiatives. Sponsorship levels and benefits can be found on our web site at: http://www.onewilmington.org/road-race/sponsorship/.
