June 29, 2016 //  by admin

Four-time Boston Marathon winner and Olympian Bill Rodgers will once again sound the gun for the sixth annual Run for Faith, a 4.58 mile run that commemorates the life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi. This year’s Run for Faith will take place on Sunday, August 14 at 8:30am at Plimoth Plantation.
Four-time Boston Marathon winner and Olympian Bill Rodgers will once again sound the gun for the sixth annual Run for Faith, a 4.58 mile run that commemorates the life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi. This year’s Run for Faith will take place on Sunday, August 14 at 8:30am at Plimoth Plantation.

PLYMOUTH, MA… In its short history, the Run for Faith has become known as the Plymouth run offering something for everyone and then some. This year’s 4.58 mile rural course run will take place on Sunday, August 14, at 8:30am at the Plimoth Plantation. Boston Marathon Legend Bill Rodgers will once again fire off the starter’s pistol as the Run for Faith’s Grand Marshall.

“The Run for Faith was built on a foundation of family, community, a love of running and causes everyone can get behind—fighting cancer and scholarships for local kids. We look to continue that tradition with this year’s run,” said Matt Romboldi, one of the founders of the race run in memory of his mother, Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, who lost her battle with cancer in 2010.

To date, the Run for Faith has raised more than $100,000 for local and regional causes. That includes two annual scholarships for graduating Plymouth North and South high school seniors, an annual donation to the Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care, and contributions to other local cause that were near and dear to Mrs. Romboldi, such as the Plymouth Public Library.

“This year our goal is similar previous years: to raise as much money as we can for these very worthwhile causes and make it a memorable day for everybody,” said Romboldi.

As for the run, The Run for Faith features a 4.58 mile rural course that’s challenging to both experienced and novice runners alike. First place finishers for men’s and women’s will receive $150, $100 for second and $50 for third. There will also be trophies for age group winners.

All women runners to receive tank top and men to receive TechWick T-shirt.  Chip timing will once again be embedded into runner’s number. This technology enables photos to runners to be taken. Water stations are plentiful. Walkers and runners with strollers are welcome.

Post-race “light refreshments” will include bananas, oranges, bagels, muffins and scones.  To amuse younger family members, a jumpy house will be available. A number of vendors will be on hand to sell their wares before and after the race.

The entry fee for the Run for Faith is $25 for individuals before day of the race; $35 for registration on the day of the race. One hundred percent of Run for Faith entry fees go to the aforementioned charities.

Runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org. You can view the course online at http://www.mapmyrun.com/us/plymouth-ma/run-for-faith-plymouth-ma-route-115100461.

Interested sponsors can contact Matthew Romboldi at info@runforfaithplymouth.org.
