Camp Wa Wa Segowea: The Wa Wa Wally Waddle was a smashing success!

What a day!

The 3rd Annual Wa Wa Wally Waddle was a great success, with more runners, more spectators and more pies! It was a gorgeous day for the 5K race and the kids races- the 1 mile race and 100 yard dash. There were a good number of families there, either running, walking or cheering on the participants. Speaking of the participants, their numbers have increased almost 3 times since the first race!

A new addition to this years festivities was an option to purchase raffle tickets. Camp Alum Georgia LoPresti Meckes donated the prize, a 2 night stay at Cold Moon Farm Luxury Farmstay for 2 in Jamaica, Vermont. The raffle alone raised just about enough money to send a kid to camp!

And that's what the Wa Wa Wally Waddle is all about, raising money for camp scholarships to send kids to our favorite camp. All together, over $4,000 was raised!

We want to thank all the volunteers who came out and helped organize the race, baked the pies, coordinated the registration, worked on the course itself, and we especially thank Josh and Lisa Perks, the race directors! We also want to thank all the sponsors for their support as well as the MidHudson Road Runners Club for their hard work.
