The Open Doorway's 3rd Annual Cape Cod Run For Recovery Relay Race

About This Event
The Cape Cod Run For Recovery Relay Race is to help raise awareness about the Opioid Epidemic on Cape Cod & to unite the Cape Cod Communities on supporting Recovery! The race takes place over 2 days where teams of runners carry purple flags from Bourne to P-town!!! This will be an opportunity for runners to help gain sponsors and raise funds to help fund treatment for those in need & to support a life of recovery.

 We are working with towns to get all of our permits and papers filed for this year's race, meeting with town officials, and getting the relay race route approved. We will be holding Team Captain meetings and will encourage runner sign ups with pending dates, until they are officially approved.

We do ask that all runners in the Relay Race either wear one of the new t-shirts we will be selling, or wear one of our previous year's t-shirts, or a purple shirt of your own so that it is easy to keep track of runners on the teams. You do NOT have to run the entire length of the town - you can run as much or as little as you like - your Team Captain will get this information from you and work it out among the team runners. If someone wants to participate but cannot run - they may walk a segment, carrying the team flag. Children ARE allowed to run in the relay race WITH their parent and/or their parents consent. The waiver attached to registration MUST be signed by guardian(s).

*TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE, BUT WILL BE KEPT TO AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE.

*Your CC info may be required to register but there is NO registration cost to runners.

*More Details To Be Announced. Dates and events are pending: September 23rd & 24th, 2017.

Silent Auction
A Silent Auction and/or Raffles will take place for items generously donated by our supporters and corporate sponsors. Last year the football autographed by Patriots player Dont'a Hightower and generously donated by the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation was auctioned off. The year before that we had an autographed Red Sox ball on display. Silent Auction/Raffles and details will be announced closer to event dates.

Post Race Celebration Party, Day 2
There is usually a celebration following the race. The past 2 years it has been at the finish line in Provincetown where we have had pizza, soda, donuts, and coffee. Details of this event will be announced closer to date once we have appropriate permission. Last year donuts and coffee were generously donated by Dunkin' Donuts! The Patriots Cheerleaders have supported our Relay Race the past 2 years by being present at the Finish Line Celebration Event from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm, signing autographs and taking photographs with runners and onlookers, and we anticipate this will be the case again!! We will announce details closer to event date. Last year the event began at 3:30pm, where there were Resource Tables, complimentary food and drinks, and a chance to cheer on the runners at the Finish Line at Provincetown Town Hall lawn on Sunday, the second day of the race. 

Visors
Hats and Visors will be available for purchase. They will be embroidered.

The back of the hat and visors will have yellow text "End the Stigma!" with yellow text "2017" below it on hats and 2016 on visors, remaining from last year.
