3rd Boston River Run 5K Fundraiser to Take Place Sunday to Benefit the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund

BOSTON - Nov. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- The friends and family of Corporal Andrew Graham Narcus and the board of directors for the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund invite you to experience the Boston River Run 5K this Sunday, November 9, 2014, benefiting the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund.

The Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund was created to honor the life of Corporal Andrew Graham Narcus, a U.S. Marine from Sudbury, Massachusetts. The organization's goal is to endow the Andrew Graham Narcus Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School, and present a scholarship to a student annually.

This year’s race is particularly significant as the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund is set to reach its three-year $25,000 fundraising mission with a special check presentation. By reaching this successful target, the scholarship will expand its reach to students beyond Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School in the following years.

The Boston River Run 5K is a spirited, patriotic run that takes place each year on Veterans Day weekend. The run offers a family-friendly course that welcomes runners and walkers of all ability levels. The course is a 3.1 mile loop on the Charles River along Soldiers Field Road and Greenough Boulevard. Prizes will be given to the top three men, top three women, and top man and woman in each of six age groups.

The race takes place at the Artesani Park, 1255 Soldiers Field Road, Boston. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m., preceded by brief remarks. Race awards and raffle drawing will take place at 10 a.m.
