600 expected at Saturday’s Hot Coco 5K in Cheshire
The race benefits adults living with disabilities
The 15th annual Hot COCO 5K, 1 Mile Walk & Kids Fun Run takes place this Saturday, November 11 in Cheshire. The scenic 5K course begins at The Norton School and travels the historic Farmington Canal Line. The 1-mile walk route is an out-and-back through Cheshire’s residential neighborhoods. The Kids Half Mile Fun Run starts at 10:00am and is followed by the 5K/walk at 10:10am. The race will feature amenities that everyone looks forward to including technical running shirts, a post-race party featuring entertainment, food, beverages, music, children’s activities, awards ceremony and more. Hot cocoa is also provided!
The race benefits Abilities Without Boundaries (AWB), a non-profit organization based in Cheshire. AWB provides adults living with disabilities with the freedom and opportunity to succeed in social and vocational pursuits within a safe, nurturing environment. Through employment partnerships, AWB works to connect individuals with local businesses fostering workplace diversity and directly contributing to the local community.
Dr. Lloyd Saberski, Abilities Without Boundaries Board Member and Hot COCO Race Chairman, recognizes the race as an important fundraiser, but also does much more, “We want our local community to be more aware of the developmentally disabled adults we serve. Their needs are often overlooked. Abilities Without Boundaries offers an important service to our community and the race greatly raises our organization’s visibility. We rely upon our community to provide job opportunities for our program participants, as well as funding support.”
Recognition to the top three overall male and female finishers, the first male and female masters (over 40) finishers, the first Cheshire male and female finishers and the top three male and female age group finishers. All Kids Fun Run participants receive a ribbon.
