WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — Runners in Waterbury laced up for a 5K Monday morning in memory of veterans who fought and died serving our country.
Experts predict record travel on Memorial Day weekend
The 'Oh Boy 5K For Us' had hundreds of people turn out while supporting a good cause.
'The reason I started doing this on Memorial Day is because I feel it is an important day to honor and remember the men and women that lost their lives for our country, and also to remember my best friend Gene DeFronzo, who was a runner of over 766 marathons,' Ivelisse Cruz, an organizer, said.
All money raised during the race will go toward child abuse prevention with the Exchange Club of Waterbury.
