"5K Pumpkin Run" 2008

Thank you to all the Volunteers & Sponsors who helped make our 2007 Run a GREAT Success!!

The 5K Pumpkin Run had a great start last year in it's first year running! This year the 2nd annual 5K Run will be held in conjunction with Dover Days Fair. The 5K Pumpkin Run is designed to be a fun, family event that can showcase the running talents in and out of town of ALL ages! The race was started in 2007 by Assistant Parks & Recreation Director, Jessica Cooney, along with the help of former "Dover Police Chase" organizer, Officer Ed Meau. We hope that our 5K Race will be just as fun and successful as the Police Chase always was! Officer Ed Meau has been great in helping us organize our race by providing us his year's worth of knowledge and advice.

Volunteers serve as the backbone to events such as this one, and events like this would not be possible without them. If you are interested in helping out, even for a few hours, please contact Jessica at 508-785-0476 or info@doverrec.com. (volunteers will receive free t-shirts, water & lunch).
