The Run for Jon is not far away
The 33rd annual Run For Jon will be held Saturday, August 26th, at 5 PM at Forrence Orchards on Mannix Road in Peru. The Run attracts hundreds of walkers, kids, fun runners, and runners every year, plus their friends and family who attend as spectators. There are numerous door prizes for participants donated by our generous donors.
Sanctioned by USA Track & Field, some of the best runners in the Northeast participate. Over the years, the race has attracted state and national champions and a few Olympians.
The Run for Jon’s mission is to raise funds to help North Country families with children in medical crisis. It raises over $4,000 yearly for this vital purpose. It has become a much anticipated annual community event.
