You may run for a lot of things – strength, speed, to clear your head, or maybe just to make up for that large pizza you ate last night – but, have you ever run for pancakes? Well, on Sunday, October 22nd, you can do just that thanks to Asbury Park’s Toast Pancake Run 5K, which will have you not only running for your breakfast, but also for a cause!
“We’re very involved in the recovery community,” said Russo Harrigan. “It’s an awesome organization that’s in desperate need of funding. Without fundraisers, they don’t exist, so when you’re running in this race, you can see exactly where your dollars are going.”
Root to Rise not only provides these individuals with the resources they need, but they also work on establishing a strong and supportive community with a number of personal development programs and professional outreach programs.
The race will culminate with a celebration of live music and vendors during the Asbury Fresh Market in Kennedy Park. Those with race bibs (how appropriate) will chow down on a hearty breakfast of pancakes at the finish line (think of it as post race carb loading!)
“I mainly run so I can eat, like so many other runners.,” said Russo Harrigan. “I mean of course you’re going to want pancakes after your Sunday run!”
Sounds like the perfect Sunday morning to us!
Just a reminder, Toast’s motto is “Peace, Love, and Pancakes!” Talk about meaning what you say!
