It’s not too late to enter the second annual Pies & Pints Ta-Ta Trot 5K Fun Run and Walk to benefit the American Cancer Society Sunday, Sept. 27, at 10 a.m. Just show up at 8 a.m. so you have time to register. This year’s race will start and end at Pies & Pints in Middlebury as it did last year. We reported earlier that the race would start at Meadowview Park, but the start will be at Pies & Pints instead.
Last year’s event drew more than 1,000 participants and raised more than $27,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides. But Pies & Pints co-owner Theo Anastasiadis, said money isn’t as important as raising awareness of breast cancer. “What motivates us is the cause we are helping,” Anastasiadis said.
He said the American Cancer Society is asking cancer survivors to share their stories on either the Ta-Ta Trot’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/piesandpintstatatrot) or the website, http://piesandpints.biz/tatatrot5K.
You can still register to run or to volunteer to help by stopping by Pies & Pints, calling them at 203-598-7221, or showing up early Sunday. The entry fee is $25 per runner. The post-run celebration will include entertainment and beer vendors ready to serve thirsty runners.
