Weston Rotary Club Announces Details on 19th Annual Run for Tomorrow Race

The Weston Rotary Club is preparing for the 19th Annual Run for Tomorrow 5K and Half Marathon race event, and accompanying Fun Fest, will be held on Sunday, December 11, 2016, at Cypress Bay High School.

“There are a number of changes to the run for this year,’ said Frank Walker Weston Rotary Chair of the run.   “Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital returns as the title sponsor.  The medals this year are beautiful die-cast and the shirts provided will be dri-fit shirts, great for south Florida running.  You can have a great time and make a difference in people’s lives at the same time.”  

The Run for Tomorrow Half Marathon course and the 5K course is USATF certified, and winds through beautiful Weston, FL, starting at Cypress Bay High School.    Friends, families, and kids of all ages are invited for the 1-Mile Family Health Walk and Mayor’s Challenge Cup, which starts at 9:00 AM and is not timed.
