MOOSE ON THE RUN — Racers get ready for last year’s Camden National Bank Moose on the Run 5K in Greenville. This year’s race takes place on Sunday, Oct. 13, with the run, walk and kid’s 1K all starting in the morning at C.A. Dean Hospital.  
    The 1K Fun Run for kids 12 and under will start at 9:30 a.m. The 5K will begin with the walkers leaving at 10 a.m. and then the runners will leave at 10:30 a.m.  Again this year, all the proceeds from the race will go towards scholarships and programs for Moosehead-area residents. “We want the people and businesses in the Moosehead area to know that when they support Moose on the Run they are also supporting their community,” Myers said.
    The first 100 registrants will receive a commemorative shirt. Participants will also receive a goody bag filled with treats and be eligible to win prizes donated by local businesses. The public can register at Camden National Bank in Greenville or at the Piscataquis Regional YMCA in Dover-Foxcroft, by calling the Y at 564-7111 or online at www.prymca.org/events.
