If you are attending any of these charity races, please email Ken V. at Kenv@njaws.com Often we car pool from Belmar/ Neptune or meet at these events. I update this list at http://vercammensport.blogspot.com I share these events so that even non-runners can walk or volunteer. All events help an area charity or non-profit. We encourage Americans to get off the couch and exercise.
