Peru – October 15th should be an exciting day for Peru as about 450 runners and bicyclists participate in the 6th Annual Octoberfest Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and 40K bike event. All proceeds are for a good cause – to fight pulmonary fibrosis, a disease affecting 500,000 Americans including several in our region. Over the past five years the event has raised some $60,000 for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. The event is coordinated by Ruth Hamilton LaClair whose father Chip Hamilton passed away after a long battle with the disease.

Ruth said it’s very much appreciated when Peru residents cheer the participants along the route beginning at 9 a.m. as they travel down the Bear Swamp Rd., Union Rd.,Jarvis Rd., Elm St. Pleasant St., River Rd., Old Town Rd., Rounds Drive, Winding Brook Rd., Buttonbrook Parkway, School st., Jenkins Street, Main Street and eventually back to the Fire Station. Most runners should travel through the hamlet between 9:15 and 10:30.

Let’s get out and show our spirit and support!  If you’d like to participate or volunteer you can sign up at this website
