In 2015 the Shop Rite of Medford was recognized for raising $25,532 for the Partners in Caring initiative. This year the goal is $30,000.

The start and finish location, rain or shine, will be the Medford Municipal Building located on Union Street. Cash prizes according to age groups will be awarded at 9:30 a.m.

The race has become popular with regional companies who are sponsoring the event. The sponsors can be found online.

Right now the outreach is for individuals to run or walk the race, according to Renee Zallie, who owns the store with her husband.
