Sean’s Run Attracting Diverse Field of Entrants
CHATHAM — It is anticipated that the size of the field for the April 26 Sean’s Run in Chatham will surpass last year’s numbers, according to a press release. Organizers are preparing for over 1,200 runners, joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities.
The growth of Sean’s Run is a result of a well-produced event on a charming course, according to feedback from participants. Organizers say entrants also like the amenities and nice giveaways; the shirts given to entrants; the convenience of Saturday Packet Pick-Up; the fun and exciting atmosphere; and the quick and accurate results provided at Sean’s Run.
A preview of the list of those already registered shows an appeal to families, 30-somethings, baby boomers and octogenarians. Registration forms and online entry are available at www.seansrun.com/.
Linda Reed from Ghent has never missed a Sean’s Run. She turned 50 before the 2008 event and ran her fastest time ever — a 23:38 — on the rolling course through the Village of Chatham to win her age group. She was a fitness runner in college but dropped the routine after graduation. It was not until her sons became involved in Chatham Gold, a youth track and field program administered by the Morris Memorial, that she decided to pick up the sport again.
She’s been running four or five days a week ever since, averaging four to six miles a run. Sean’s Run is the first of five or six races she competes in each road race season.
“Sean’s Run becomes my motivation to work harder and improve my conditioning,” Reed said, according to the release. To her, the best parts of Sean’s Run are “the total community involvement, you see so many of the same people coming back to support the event, including Chatham graduates. And the course is really nice, peaceful by the pond, music by the middle school, folks cheering on Main Street and the downhill coming back into the school is exciting.”
