https://www.facebook.com/events/140757206352052/The 1-181 Infantry Battalion (Powderhorn) of the Massachusetts Army National Guard will be hosting its first annual 5K on September 24, 2016 in Devens MA. The 1-181 Infantry traces its lineage back to 1636 at the “Salem Muster” where, along with other Massachusetts units, it became known as “The Nation’s First.” Since then, the 1-181 Infantry has fought in every major conflict from the Revolutionary War to the Iraq and Afghanistan Campaigns in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Currently, the Battalion is comprised of four line companies located throughout the state and a headquarters company located in Worcester.
100% of all proceeds from this race will be contributed to the “Powderhorn Fund,” which is used for morale and welfare purposes. Our goal is to provide at least one Powderhorn Soldier and one family member a college scholarship to be awarded in January. You can help us achieve this worthy goal simply by registering and taking part in this unique and historic 5k run. Your registration fee includes, a numbered bib, chipped professional timekeeping, professional photographs online, and a t-shirt. Prizes will be presented for age and gender categories as well as separate Soldiers categories.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEING YOU ON RACE DAY!!
