Help reduce the incidence of suicide by joining Samaritans for their 13th Annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, October 1, 2011. Over 2000 people will participate in the event to help raise funds for and attract new volunteers to Samaritans, a nonprofit agency dedicated to reducing the risk of suicide, the third leading cause of death for Massachusetts youth and the nation's eleventh leading cause of death for all ages.

The race is a USA Track and Field sanctioned 5 kilometer (3.2 miles) run along the Charles River, based at Artesani Park on Soldier’s Field Road in Brighton. Everyone is welcome - runners, joggers, walkers, individuals and families. You can also create a 5K team for the event, and recruit friends and family members to join you! Prizes will be awarded to the male and females race winners in 8 different age brackets, and to the top individual and team fundraisers. For more information about the Samaritans 5K, visit www.samaritanshope.org or call 617-536-2460. Samaritans
