5K to support organizations in Glens Falls
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- An upcoming 5K will benefit Glens Falls Hospital, the Glens Falls YMCA, and the Feeder Canal Alliance. The Harrison Freer Rotary Community 5K Run/Walk is hosted by the Glens Falls Rotary Club.
Glens Falls Hospital said funds will support renovations of the emergency room.
"The emergency room hasn't had a renovation or upgrade in about 30 years. We see about 45,000 patients a year, and a lot of people don't realize, once you leave the emergency hospital it's, 114 miles before you hit another full-service emergency department."
The event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 12 at the SUNY Adirondack campus. Participants can run as individuals or as a team. Adults and children are encouraged to take part in the 5K.
