The annual fundraising event for VIEW started and ended at the Old Forge lakefront.

Though the weather seemed to keep numbers down, the spirit and enthusiasm of those who braved it—some who came as far away as Chicago—certainly weren’t dampened, said Jim Connery, VIEW’s Special Events and Facility Manager.

View’s 5K Color Run

I am writing to you today on behalf of the Running Colors Committee at View. We would like to thank the Town of Webb for allowing the public bathrooms, located at the lake front, to stay open for our 2nd Annual 5K Color Run event, also to Chief Russell for providing a traffic officer. 

We attracted close to 300 participants this year and your support to help us out was invaluable.

View plans for Running Colors 5K event

View has asked to use the Old Forge lakefront for its annual Running Colors 5K Run on Saturday, October 19.

The request was made to the Town of Webb Board by Event Coordinator Stephen Wick on behalf of the Running Colors committee.

He said View would be placing a registration tent at the site with a sound system for the emcee.

Wick also asked that the public restrooms near the tennis courts be opened for the event.

“We have many familes with young ones who need the facilities to change in,” he said.

The lakefront’s trash and recycling containers would also be needed, Wick said.

The race course will be the same as last year with Chief John Russell’s Town of Webb Police Department controlling traffic.

Participants will be encouraged to use the parking lots at Pied Piper and Water Safari, Wick said.

The Town of Webb Board agreed Tuesday September 10 to allow View’s use of the lakefront for the event.
