April 26, 2009 – The
8th Annual Sean’s Run was the largest, and the warmest, to-date.
1,371 people entered the 5K or Meghan’s
Mile. The event was conducted under sunny skies with temperatures
topping out at 85 degrees.
While no age-group records were set in the 5K,
the kids who won Meghan’s Mile were not slowed by the heat.
New course records were set in both the boys and the girls divisions.
Shirts were provided to the first 1,200 entrants
and the first 250 who showed at packet pick up on the Saturday before
the event were given a special souvenir back-pack.
The World Championship Battle of the Belts attracted
teams from 18 schools and youth groups. The Prevention Education
Expo attracted a record number of exhibitors.
Moneys raised at last year’s Sean’s
Run were awarded as grants to 16 schools and youth groups from an
area extending from Dutchess and Ulster Counties in the south to
Montgomery County in the west. In addition, 10 seniors from across
the region were awarded scholarships.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and supporters,
Sean’s Run has earned and given away $120,050 since the inaugural
event in 2002.
Sean’s Run is more than a run/walk — it’s a community’s
response to tragedy, a deadly underage drunk driving car crash on
January 1, 2002 that claimed the life of high school honor roll
student, community volunteer and running standout Sean Patrick French
and permanently altered the life of his buddy Ian Moore. Both juniors,
they were passengers in a car driven by an intoxicated schoolmate.
They were both unbuckled.
The feel-good spirit experienced at Sean’s
Run continues long after runners and walkers cross the finish line
— because they’ve supported a life saving effort to
combat underage drinking, impaired driving and teens’ lax
use of seatbelts.
