Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Anchor Race is coming back to town!
The Hanover Anchor Race is a great community event that first took place in the
spring of 2008. Over 160 runners, which included 100 Hanover residents, took
part in this 4-mile race through Hanover. They are hoping to exceed that
number this year. So, break out your running shoes!
When: Sunday October 3rd – start time 10:00 a.m.
Time by Spitler Race Systems
Check in begins at 8:30 a.m.; Kids Fun Run at 9:00 a.m.; family events
throughout the morning.
Where: Starting line is at Cedar School, 265 Cedar Street.
To Register: Go to www.active.com and search for Anchor Race.
Sign up before September 15th to receive a complimentary t-shirt. Fee
is $18.00 on-line ahead of time or register on race day for $20.00 at their check-in
table.
Ever wonder why it is called the Anchor Race? Old Ironsides’ anchor was
built in Hanover. The anchor is part of the town’s seal and the logo of
the Hanover Schools. It is a great piece of Hanover history (and also the
final leg of a relay team!).
All proceeds from the Hanover Anchor Race will benefit the Hanover Foundation
for Educational Enrichment (HFEE). They are looking for corporate sponsors and
family sponsors. For $100, your business will support the Newcomers Club, the
Anchor Race and the HFEE. For $50.00 your family can do the same. All
sponsors received by September 15th will have their company or
family name printed on race t-shirts.
They are also looking for anyone who would like to help out with our family events
on race day…teach an exercise class or lead group stretching, paint faces or
set up a booth for your wellness business. If you would like to sponsor the
race, make a donation, or volunteer your talent to make the day special for
spectators, please contact Race Director Amy Coffey at
