Story

The sixth Annual Rotary Moontide Water Festival Road Races were run on Saturday June 29, 2002, during the last day of the fest

The sixth Annual Rotary Moontide Water Festival Road Races were run on Saturday June 29, 2002, during the last day of the festival carnival week. It was dry and hot, but 35 racers came to run the One Mile Fun Run, The Moontide 5K and The River Valley 10K. All participants received a gift pack of useful and fun items provided by the sponsors. Participants came from many of the towns in the river valley as well as towns like Brunswick, Guilford, Auburn, Baltimore, Farmington, Jay, Bethel, Bryant Pond, Brighton, Penobscot, and Steamboat Springs

 Hosmer Field was the base of the operations and the races used the track and routes that took runners through the main streets of both Rumford and Mexico.

 

Many runners based on overall and age group performance won awards and metals.  Mike Chilly achieved a New River Valley 10K record when he completed the race in a time of 37:50.8. Chilly reduced the record by 6 minutes and 46 seconds.  Chilly received an LL Bean gift certificate in addition to a plaque for winning first place.

 

The success of the event was due to the contributions and support from many sectors: MeadWestvaco, Rumford Hospital Calpine, Power Associates, Chisholm Ski Club, Sport shoe Center, Running World Magazine, Legers, Med-Care, E & E Awards Carrabassetts Water, Hannaford’s, the Moontide Water Festival Committee, Local town garages, Park Department, police departments, and the Rumford Rotary members from Rumford, Mexico and Dixfield.

 

Proceeds from the road races will support the scholarships offered annually at SAD 43, SAD 21 and Region 9 by the Rumford Area Rotary Club.
