Over 300 runners came out in support of Bob Veillette, long-time senior editor at the Waterbury Rep-Am. Veillette was stricken with locked-in syndrome.
The race has been held in downtown Waterbury for many years and continues to grow. It is always held in Library Park as Veillette worked across the street at the Rep-Am and was an avid runner. He typically appears at the race if he is able. To make a donation to Veillette for his home healthcare: www.bob5K.com.
P.S. They all finished the race!
