Always There is joining the Kiwanis Classic in Kingston.
Quoted from the Daily Freeman...
Race director and Kiwanis member Greg Riley provided an update about the April 17 race, which will celebrate its 29th anniversary after the one-year hiatus.
The race will start on North Front St. and continue through the streets of uptown Kingston, then out to Hurley Ave. for a turnaround back to the finish at Dietz Stadium. Organizers also decided to keep the 2.1-mile fun run.
Riley reiterated the club’s vision to make the Classic a complete community event, not just another weekend road race.
“We want it to be fun for the whole family and something that people will stay around for all day long,” he said. “We want to showcase Kingston and help to stimulate the economy a little. We’re all about raising money to put back into the community, especially through youth programs.”
Riley said the Kiwanis Club provided 20 $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors at Kingston and John A. Coleman Catholic highs in the recent past. He said the club would like to expand that to include high school cross country runners who would receive a scholarship on athletic merit for use at the college of their choice.

The expo would actually span both days, continuing into Sunday, and possibly including vendors and exhibitors who were interested in one or two-day commitments."... for more on this article, click on the link above.
