The warm weather means there are plenty of activities to do outdoors. We all know that walking and running are great for the body, so why not step up to a new challenge this summer? We’ve put together a handy guide of the runs and walks taking place from June to September in Monroe-Woodbury, Cornwall and Goshen. Participating in an event for a cause helps raise awareness for local charities and organizations. With various distances for everyone in the family, the only thing left is to choose which events to attend.
