In recognition of the 35th Annual Boothbay Region YMCA Rocky Coast Road Race on Saturday, June 27, 9 a.m. this year's event needs no preregistration. Simply show up the morning of the race and make a donation to run or walk — your choice.

One hundred percent of the donations will go toward Friends of Windjammer Days and Boothbay Region YMCA youth programs.

Both the 5k and 10k run as well as the 5k walk will commence at 9 a.m. All children and families are encouraged to participate together in the 5k run or walk. A family that works out together stays healthy together!

Similar to the very successful annual Boothbay Region YMCA Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning which collects donations for the local food pantry, the Y — this year as a trial run — is implementing the same structure for the Rocky Coast Road Race.

Those who had already registered for a fee can either use that as their donation or have it returned and can make any size donation of their choice. Simply stop by the Y front desk.

Invite your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and visitors to join you shortly before 9am this Saturday, June 27 in the YMCA parking lot to run or jog the 10k loop or run, walk or jog the 5k loop.

If you would like to volunteer for the event as road crew giving directions, handing out water or supporting the participants, please contact ahamblett@brymca.org.
