There’s still time for runners of all ages to sign up for the sweetest race in the Hudson Valley at Bishop Dunn Memorial School’s Seventh Annual Cupcake 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, September 21.
Life is all about moderation, like enjoying a cupcake or three before heading out for a nice run. But if you want to get in on this guilt-free snacking, you’d better hurry – time’s running out.
The race for adults (and another for children 10 and under) will be held at Mount Saint Mary College, 330 Powell Ave., Newburgh, N.Y. To register or for more information, visit https://runscore.runsignup.com/Race/NY/Newburgh/BDMSCupcake5kRunWalk
