6th Annual Running for Rides – Mary Parker Memorial Race Saturday October 14th

Mary Parker worked for Island Connections as the Transportation Coordinator for 7 years before she had to step down as a result of her cancer diagnosis and treatment schedule. The Annual Running for Rides Race was created to honor and celebrate Mary's passion for Island Connections, its mission, and  the volunteers who provide the rides for the Island community.

The  6th Annual Running for Rides/Mary Parker Memorial Race will take place Saturday, October 14th, and is for runners, walkers and furry friends on a leash. This is a 5K, and starts at 9 a.m. at the MDI YMCA on Park Street in Bar Harbor.

Registration is $25 for adults and $15 for youth under 15 before race day and $30 for adults and $15 for youth if registering on October 14th.  All proceeds benefit Island Connections. To register click HERE. For more information call Island Connections at 207-288-4457.
