Since October 2001, the Voorheesville Community and School Foundation Board has organized a 5K Fall Classic Road Race and Walk. The Run/Walk takes place in October each year and the proceeds raised go to benefit various organizations throughout the school and local community. The first year, the funds raised were donated to the Voorheesville High School to purchase much needed track equipment. The funds raised in subsequent years have supported many clubs and organizations in the school as well as the local community. The Fall Classic was held at Indian Ladder Farms last year, however, the Race will return to the Voorheesville Elementary School this year and feature a new course. Participants receive a long sleeve tee shirt and medals are given for top finishers in the event. The Race attracts many participants from both the Capital Region and the community of New Scotland and Voorheesville. In addition to the participants, many volunteers in the community supported the event, participating as registrars, course and traffic marshals, water stop workers and spectators. The race also features our annual “Kids Race”. The Kids Race is free and this year, a WI game is being raffled to the participating children. The Foundation hopes to promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle in the community through the Kids Race. We have been fortunate to have many local businesses and residents of the local community support the event as a sponsor. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated and donations of items suitable for our raffle held during the ceremonies following the Race are also welcome. Sponsors in past years have included: Capital District Physicians Health Plan, the law firm of Wein, Young, Fenton & Kelsey, P.C., Stewart’s Shops, Atlas Copco, Advanced Auto Repair Service and Advanced Car Wash, Olsens Nursery and Greenhouses, Nichol’s Market, Bryant Asset Management, Sponsor a Scholar, Geoffrey B. Edmunds, DDS, Capital Financial Services, Indian Ladder Farms, Norman Ellenbogen, DDS and Steven Lysenko, DMD, and Anthem Health Services.
