This year's dog beneficiary is Nobody Starves on LI. https://nosoli.org/  suggested donation $20 but no amount is too little~!!!Please also see their facebook page you can link through the website. They are a small grassroots org. that do a great deal of assisting dogs and dog owners! https://www.facebook.com/NobodyStarvesLI/The running community is a caring, generous community whose strength in numbers can really help others who are struggling!  Then we run, then we eat :) This year we are also asking that runners also donate a non perishable food for an organization which helps feed children https://www.agapemealsforkids.org/make-a-difference/Suggested donation: "easy to prepare" food items such as just add milk cereal bowls/mac n cheese/canned healthy soup or SpaghettiOs!! There will be a box at the run for your kids meal donation.If you are so inclined bring cupcakes for the finish! We will secure some prosecco-but we plan to gather as a group just up and across the street at Phil's Restaurant famous for wings and other delicious food to refuel! http://philsrestaurant.com/The start of the run is on Wading River Manor road just past the  country gas station, and the bank on the left side. From the west head into the town- at the light(starbucks will be on your right )you will make a left onto wading river manor rd. Head past Phils on your right, and about 100 feet up on your left is the trail start. Park on the road or at the right side lot for Phils. You'll see folks-easy peasy!The run/walk is any distance you want, but is typically 9 miles out and back and there will be people doing that distance so plan as you wish! Phils opens at 12pm so if you plan to do much less enjoy cupcakes while you wait.
