East Andover Village Preschool Everyday Heroes 5K
East Andover Village Preschool is a non-profit program for children ages 3 to 5 from Andover and the surrounding area. The preschool describes its days as filled with excitement, exploration, observation, and experimentation, and says it needs learning tools and supplies to support children’s development and love for learning.
The event uses an Everyday Heroes theme to honor people who help keep communities running, for example police officers, fireman, doctors, teachers, military personnel, and others. Racers and children are encouraged to dress in costumes representing their heroes.
Distances offered:
- 3.1 Miles 5K walk/run
- 1 Mile kids run for ages 6 to 10
- Kids fun run for ages 5 and under
The course begins on the Northern Rail Trail in front of the East Andover Fire Station, continues down the rail trail toward Agony Hill Road, turns slightly right onto Agony Hill Road, then follows a marked route through a small clearing back to the rail trail and returns to the finish area.
A touch a truck event at the East Andover Fire Station will feature a fire truck and a police cruiser to give participants an up-close look at vehicles. There will be activities for children after they complete the one mile race and the fun run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
