Virtual race garners new participants

Dear Editor,

The Martin Devlin July 4th 5K Fun Run committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the virtual race this year. While we hoped to be in person, we are so grateful for the continued support of our long term participants, and the new runners that represented Colorado, Florida, Indiana and Maryland.

Special thanks to Chelsea Loomis, Jonas Rosenthal and Betsy Wescott for volunteering and assisting with the event.

It was a great success that raised over $1,600  in support of the Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice of the Southwest Region.

We hope to see you in person next year!

With much appreciation,

Kerry Devlin and Renee Beaupre White (coordinators,) Poultney
