RENSSELAER FALLS -- GardenShare is requesting pre-registration for this year’s Fight Hunger 5K to ensure that participants can make the most of what promises to be a wonderful and worthwhile event. “We have a lot of exciting plans,” says Angela Villeneuve-Bronson, a volunteer on the 5K planning team. “Signing up now will ensure participants get a t-shirt and meal, if they are interested.”

This year's GardenShare Fight Hunger 5K walk/run is held in conjunction with The Harvester, an inaugural agritourism cycling event hosted by Cycle ADK and St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce on Sunday, Sept. 22 at Fobare's Fruits in Rensselaer Falls.

Check-in for the 5K will begin at 11 a.m.; the walk/run begins at 11:30 a.m.

Following the 5K and cycling tour, Fobare’s will host a barbecue lunch featuring local beer from In-Law Brewing and full access to Fobare’s grounds and venues. Live music from the Crane School of Music Irish Ensemble Class will liven things up from 1 to 3 p.m.

For information and to pre-register, visit www.gardenshare.org or call 315-261-8054.

This is GardenShare's largest fundraising event for the year, and participants are encouraged to raise additional funds through individual sponsorships. Prizes will be awarded to top fundraisers. Fundraising information is also available on the GardenShare website.
