Dayton City School teacher Trish Newsom will be running in the 2013 Boston Marathon with Team Hoyt of the Hoyt Foundation. Since Team Hoyt is a charity, a requirement for her to join the team is to raise $5,000. A year ago, she raised over $8,000 for the cause through several fundraisers.
Newsom and her supporters are again sponsoring a ‘Run with Trish 5K for Team Hoyt & Family/Kid 1-mile fun run/walk’ on Saturday, March 2, at 9 a.m., at the TN Riverpark, Pavillion No. 3, in Chattanooga.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. The 5K run/walk will cost $20 per person, $10 for children under 10. The 1-mile fun run/walk cost will be $10 per person. Race day registration increases to $25 per person and $15 for children under10. Exact cash or check only will be accepted.
